Apparently, in the volume 2 directors commentary, it is said that the sound of birds flapping their wings when Qrow appears in Yang's flashback is important.

I've actually speculated before that Qrow might be able to use birds somehow to see things or know what's going on. After all, he seems to be Ozpin and Ironwood's info source, he knew that Yang was in danger when she was a kid, he has a crow theme, and apparently, his emblem is sort of a winged eye with a gear in it.

Now that I think about it some more, it makes me think about how we saw crows in the Red, Black, and Yellow trailers. I know that crows are Monty's signature, but what if Monty incorporated his signature into Qrow?

Red Trailer - The crow flies by in a flash during the overhead view of Ruby in the forest.

Black Trailer - The crow is sitting on the edge of the cliff, and when Blake and Adam get there, it flies away.

Yellow Trailer - The crow is perched on the bridge. It flies away as Yang is walking toward the club.
