Back bad old days when I commuted to work I drove down a fairly low use 4 lane road. There was some roadkill right on the yellow dividing line. The road is pretty flat, and there was only one other car coming from the other direction. Off iin the distance I saw the crow eating some of the roadkill, and as the other car approached, it waled 3 feet or so over the yellow line and waited for the car to pass, and it walked over and pecked at the roadkill as I approached. As I got closer, it stepped over the yellow line a few feet, and waited for me to pass. I could see in the rear view mirror as he just walked back over to the roadkill. He seemed to understand the flow of traffic, and the yellow line. It was pretty cool. No flying off and wasting energy, just a few steps and keep on back to eating.
