Fish Crows are the last to abandon the White Flint roost in the spring and the first to begin using it in the fall. So the birds passing through your neighborhoods lately are mostly Fish Crows. Aside from that, I have noticed that Fish Crows seem to be more numerous in recent years and may be breeding in suburban neighborhoods. Time for my afternoon nap.

Yes, I have noticed more Fish Crows than usual, and fewer American. Have the American's become quiet and the Fish's more noisy?

Lately it seems the only crows calling around here are Fish Crows. The scarcity of American Crows strikes me as unusual. Anyone else noticing this?
