Hi All-- Working on my blog, I serendipitously wrote a post today about the Fish Crow. ( http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ) Come to discover that Fish Crows are found up the Mississippi Valley to St. Louis and accidentally into southern Ontario! Fish Crows are moving north. Twice this fall I saw or heard odd crows. One was noticeably small but not obviously young. Another time I heard crows call like a Fish Crow--this was in Updown near 47th street or so. At the time, not knowing that a Fish Crow was remotely possible, I wrote the calls off as off-pitch American Crows.
No way I am listing these! But we should be on the alert. The two species are so similar, I am somewhat puzzled as to how one would tell them apart here in Minnesota. I have Fish and American crow calls on the blog. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika [email protected] ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
