Does anyone have legends about something I have read about in Ozark folklore.....
What was refered to as the "Crow Court", where it appeared that crows put on a trial of one of their members and would judge them. In the legend, judgement would be passed and the crow was killed by the group. My father has actually claimed to have seen this happen in one of these large gatherings. I remain sceptical but the folklore aspects are interesting.

In any case crows have a complex society and such legends show that this was recognized long ago.
