I had pet crows. Ravens too. They are super smart. Not likely to die off unless some external variables involved.
Poisoning is likely. Too bad ☹. Birds can get into bait poisons. When it gets colder, they aren’t as picky. They need more food, so they may be eating dead / poisoned rodents. Thats my hunch.
