Jay, I've seen you mention that before, it's interesting. I haven't noticed that, but it is certainly possible, we do have birds of prey. I don't work too hard to scare the crows, though I did hope the rooster would deter them, but he's not.
I mostly didn't want them hanging around as they are eating a lot of the chickens' food! and on the rare occassions that the ducks lay outside (we dont let them out til 830-9, but still sometimes there will be an egg outside) the eggs get pecked by birds that definitely arent ducks (and chickens dont have access there) so the crows that sit and watch them all day are the top suspects.
