I have to disagree. I hear this call with some regularity this time of year, I believe it is an adult American Crow uttering a "begging" call as part of courtship behavior. The calls also sound too long and drawn out and not quite nasal enough for diagnostic Fish Crow utterances. This time of year I don't like counting it as a Fish Crow (in areas where they are not common) unless I clearly hear the two- syllable falling "Unh-uh" call. The paired calls in the recording just sound like two regular calls back-to-back, not really like a single two-syllable call.
