Could it be the one that just barely escaped your shot pattern last fall and is finally healing up only to get the full load this year? It would really suck to be him!!

Looks like it initially. Years ago I was shooting crows with one of those Chinese air rifles. I hit this crow and it squawked but I figured it would glide away and die-to my amazement-I shot it a year later in fall further north maybe a dozen miles at the edge of a cornfield with a really peculiar growth which I recognized;it was the lead pellet that created this weird cancerous growth making it look like it had a weird undercarriage...never shot the same crow twice like that by the way..
But because of this I learned that crows would rather stay where their food source is. That what we call "migration" (which in some cases actually is) is generally a hedge hopping to where they will spend winter for the next several months but so long as food is available...and there is no harassment by hawks or men..too much of the latter and they will go looking else where...regardless of food availability. But on that note, they will quickly note the times they are being shot at and just wait out the shooters but not in the numbers before but a lot will stick around to scoff up what the deer don't other wise eat, or the geese..
