Here is a site that discusses the Mythology of crows and ravens.

Raven in Mythology

I find crows fascinating. I have only see ravens once, in the Ocala National Forest. It is the only place east of the Mississippi where you find them. I am not surprised though as the Forest is a place of great spiritual power.

Here I found some more, this is about the Goddess Morrigan and Hooded Crows

Morrigan

by Danielle Dee

The Morrigan is a goddess of battle, strife, and fertility. Her name translates as either "Great Queen" or "Phantom Queen," and both epithets are entirely appropriate for her. The Morrigan appears as both a single goddess and a trio of goddesses. The other deities who form the trio are Badb ("Crow"), and either Macha (also connotes "Crow") or Nemain ("Frenzy"). The Morrigan frequently appears in the ornithological guise of a hooded crow. She is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann ("Tribe of the goddess Danu") and she helped defeat the Firbolg at the First Battle of Mag Tuireadh and the Fomorians at the Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh.
