New crows arrive!

Our new crows are here!

We know one of them to be a Fish Crow. Listen to their unique call. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/fish_crow/sounds

We think the other one is an American Crow and we would be thrilled to have one of each! It’s difficult to tell the two apart until you hear each distinctive call. Some people are not even aware that there are 2 kinds of crows in our area.

Fish Crows look a lot like the American Crows most of us know and are tough to identify until you learn their distinctive nasal call.. You might see them around bodies of water, usually in flocks and sometimes with American Crows. They are supreme generalists, eating just about anything they can find. Fish Crows have recently expanded their range inland and northward.

Many years ago, we had a wild Fish Crow that would come visit our captive American Crow and they would share food between the fence line!
