What can I do about crows in the trees near my house? I hear them most every morning at about the same time as the blue-jays. They make a god awful sound. It's as if both blue-jays and crows are saying, " get up, get up, we're up, so you should too."

Here's some information on getting rid of crows.
www.wikihow.com/
Farmers have been trying to get rid of them from their gardens for years, hence the use of scare crows. You can also try rubber snakes, but once they realize they are not real, that won't work. Fireworks will work, but often they come back. You did not mention if you were in town or in the country. Some things, can't be done in town, such as the fireworks.
There are ultrasonic crow repellants on the market. I don't know if it's in your budget but it might be worth saving for if it means you can get more sleep b
I just now read from the link to Wikihow that bids are not sensitive to ultrasonic sound, so investing in anything subsonic is throwing good money over bad.
Crows and jays are just doing what they are designed to do this time of year-the males make a great noise to tell everyone else they have arrived and "don't mess with us, we are ready for mating!!!"
You can shoot large water cannons at the trees, go hunting and other terrible ideas! In short there is very little you can do to prevent the crows and the noise. It is important to remember that crows were here long before we humans invaded their territory.
I do not have an answer, but did you know crows are very smart? They are capable of facial recognition and hold grudges so do not be too mean!
A largely unknown fact is that crows are very intelligent birds. Other than searching for suggestions online to solve your irritation, I suggest looking up the crow as an animal totem. Native Americans believe that animals cross our paths to give us a message.
We hang cd disc for reflectors and it gets the birds out of our yard.
