Fish Crow
The Fish Crow is a medium-sized black bird that closely resembles the American Crow but is slightly smaller. Its glossy black feathers often have a bluish or greenish sheen in sunlight. Its distinguishing feature is its distinct call, a nasal "uh-uh" sound, unlike the cawing of other crows.
Fish Crows are highly social and intelligent birds, often seen in flocks. They are known for their playful behavior and problem-solving abilities. These birds are excellent foragers, often seen scavenging along shorelines, wetlands, and urban areas. They feed on a variety of foods, including fish, crustaceans, small animals, and human scraps.
These crows are typically found in coastal regions, riverbanks, and other water-rich environments in North America. They build their nests in trees near water, using twigs and other plant materials. Fish Crows are adaptable and can also thrive in suburban and urban settings.
