Old Mr. Crow in "The Giant Scarecrow"

But Mr. Crow was not pleased when he flew toward the cornfield the next day and saw the great figure of a man there, with a terrible glittering helmet upon his head. And Mr. Crow noticed something upon the giant's shoulder that looked very like a gun. The old gentleman swerved quickly to one side and never stopped his flight until he had reached the woods. And that night Farmer Green felt quite merry. "I've scared that old crow away at last," he said.
