Fish Crows

Today I went to Hoskinson's Sandpit for the first time in a couple weeks.  When I was last there I had found three Fish Crows, but I could not get a good recording of their call.  This was a first Reno county record and I hoped they were still there.  When I got there one of the first things I saw was a Fish Crow.  There were two of them sitting on one of the machines used for pumping the sand out.  After a brief scan of the rest of the lake I went over there and got a recording of them before they flew off.  It is a bad recording as mine usually are, but you can just hear the birds! The only other good bird were my first of year Horned Grebe, Pied billed Grebe, Tree Swallow, and Northern Rough-winged Swallow.

You can't really distinguish between American and Fish Crow's from a picture, but this is a Fish because of the call. Photo by Andrew
