I heard my FOY Fish Crow in Geneva this morning. I‘ve heard and seen them throughout the city and along the lake front in years past, but I was walking along Washington St when I heard (then saw) it this morning. If anyone has tips on visual ID, please share! As far as I know, there is a slight size difference between them and Americans. I always rely on what they sound like though, because I can’t tell them visually apart from American Crows.
The funny trick I learned in the orno course I took in college is to ask the crow “are you an American Crow?” And if they say “UH-UH”, they are a Fish Crow :) Alyssa Johnson -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
