they're driven off the mockingbirds and most of the scrub jays. They fight with the red-tail hawks. I've even seen groups of them at the beach! (I dread a crow-sea gull alliance). IMHO, we're seeing the more specialized birds decline as they lose their habitats, while the more generalized ones are taking their places.
