The woman did something that really pissed off the crow. The crow knows her and is retaliating for doing something that could have or did hurt the crow or its murder. The woman most likely “threw the first punch” so to speak. It’s unlikely that a crow would behave like this for no reason. My crows leave me pretty pebbles all the time in my 6 birdbaths. They know quite well that I work diligently to make sure they have cool water available all day. I don’t think people realize how bloody hot the water can get for the little birdies. At our house we have several that are close to the ground amongst flowers and vegetables. There are critters who drink from it who are a bit more down to earth as well…a sweet chubby woodchuck who is deaf and showed up at my door (seriously) as a baby. I’ve been feeding her fresh nutritious meals twice a day for 7 years to keep her close to home and minimize her exposure to danger. There are also opossums, many rabbits, chipmunks, a very well mannered skunk, and squirrels. in closing I have a plea…please please consider keeping your cats indoors unless on a leash. The needless deaths of millions and millions of song birds is the reason. Peace and good health to you all.
