Recently in a supermarket parking lot I saw a crow repeatedly jumping up and pecking at a car grill. Watching awhile I realized that he was using car grills as a food source for dead, dehydrated bugs. The crow went from car to car, searching for bugs. Finding one, he would jump using both front legs, grab the bug with his beak and pull it off the grill, jump back to the ground and eat. Periodically he would take a break to drink cold water from the air conditioner drippings that cars leave when parked. Crows and other birds have probably been using vehicles as bug food scoops for decades. But I'd never heard of it or seen it before.
