Duncan Phillips admired Poor's art and bought several works in 1938. Studies for Poor's mural The Conservation of American Wildlife, commissioned in 1938 by the Treasury Department for the Department of Interior Building, were shown at the Phillips Memorial Gallery in 1939. Further, Phillips's interest in the subject and theme of Dead Crow is supported by three similar paintings in the collection—Ryder’s Dead Bird, Soutine's The Pheasant, and Graves' Wounded Gull.
