They bark at everything that moves, so they are as informative to me as they are to game. Magpies are another good informer. I've spotted bedded deer and elk by watching magpies as they cross a valley headed to another mountain. They wheel in and look for parasites etc on bedded critters.
Ravens, eagles, jays, and coyotes are good messengers too if one is predator hunting. The will point out the location of gut piles, dead critters, and hunting predators.
