Gang Wars at the Shore??

The seagulls have had the stronghold on the shore for years- a rival group was bound to hear about the opportunities and try to move in. 

Has anyone else noticed the black crows?  They are breaking in to trash bags and wandering the beach like they own the place. 

I see them nesting in the center island trees, and stalking the streets on trash day.  The other evening on the beach, the crows were all around, surrounding my chair- very creepy! 

 Crows on the wire.
