Can't answer: there are bacteria in all fecal materials. Crows and other birds have bacteria but we also have acid in the stomach, and some salivary enzymes that protect us. This situation can not be mapped out as to what will happen.

No Worries : It is very unlikely that you will get an infection or be affected by the small amount you swallowed. The next time you're around crows, wear a hat with a large brim.
