Bill, TN Bird,
I can certainly see that point of view. Having lived on the Gulf Coast for over
15 years,I had a lot of time to learn all the different things Fish Crows say
(yes, the 2-syllable call is diagnostic, but they have lots of other sounds),
and this recording sounded like Fish Crow to me. But if American Crows say
similar things this time of year, then is it perhaps a more conservative
approach to leave this one as "Crow sp." or American/Fish Crow? It is the right
time of year for Fish Crows to be moving....
Best birding,

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.
