Earlier this winter I was diving up Seashore on my way to PCH to go to work.
It's a slow road with pedestrians (surfers/dog walkers) crossing so I was only going about 15-20.
Up ahead I saw 3 crows in the middle of the road eating something but they always fly away before you get to them so I didn't even think twice about slowing down.
The two flew off seconds before I got to them but the one with it's back to me took off a little too late and I caught him on the front grill and he bounced up and over the front of my car.
I immediately looking in my rear view and saw him flopping on the ground and the two other crows were already on him and attacking him.
Crows are smart but also opportunists and very brutal.
A teacher friend said she killed one w her car once. Its partner followed her car while she drove to the store. When she got out, it dive bombed her head.

That is really crazy and a new one I've never seen or heard of before.

They look like spot prawns.. only different.
