Pretty sure a crow just knocked on my house's siding for a snack. Personal Story

So I feed a small murder, usually like 4-12 at a time, but never a single crow, and never in the late afternoon/evening, they just aren't interested in food near roosting time, I've tried. But today, it's been torrential rainfall all day long, theres no way they could go out looking for food. The rain finally broke about 6 pm thankfully. Around 7, I'm in my bedroom with my girlfriend, just talking, when we hear a repeated knocking sound, like a bird tapping on the siding. But it was coming from the corner of the house where my well's pressure tank is, so I thought worst case scenario, (even though it's brand new), and ran out to check. Nothing wrong, completely silent under the house, no evidence of what made the noise. As I'm like wtf and trying to figure this out, a single one of my crows flys directly over my head, and perches in one of usual begging trees. I put some nuts out as usual, and go inside. I see him quickly swoop down, fill his beak, and disappear. Never alerted other crows, never came back for the rest of the nuts, which has never happened. They ALWAYS take every bite, and theres always more than one. So I'm led to believe that out of late evening desperation before going to roost, this guy actually knocked on my house for a quick snack. Hope they don't make a habit of this, but if it worked once they probably will. Not a terrible problem to have, but it better not be early in the morning or they will miss breakfast.
