Many thanks to all those who responded to my Fish Crow report!

In light of these, I cannot be certain that what I heard was not a 
begging, perhaps juvenile, American Crow - whose call is quite similar 
to that of the Fish Crow. Listening to Stokes, I hear a distinction 
between them, but I had not listened to the begging call when I made the 
judgment yesterday. (Also, my resident expert Spencer is chasing Colima 
Warblers this week, so could not be consulted...)

I did not rule out Fish Crow, however unlikely at my location, because 
they were sighted at least twice this year in the area. Any crows 
visiting today will be scrutinized carefully!

Thanks again-
Doug
