"Here" refers to the coastal and riparian habitats that Fish Crows favor, but are not limited to. Our area includes the Chesapeake Bay watershed, a huge area by geographical standards but full of diverse habitats. I used, in part, information gleaned from the excellent "The Birder's Handbook", by Erlich, Dobkin & Wheye (my bible for all things ornithological). ********************** Frank Boyle ravenfrank@earthlink.net Laurel, MD ********************** -----Original Message----- From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM] On Behalf Of Patty Craig Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2002 9:43 AM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Lots of crows building nests Frank, I was wondering where "here" is in the statement: Fish crows are winter residents here, and during extreme cold snaps american crows are "partially" migratory - that is, they are local migrants on the east coast of North America. In St. Mary's County, Fish Crows seem to disappear in the winter months. I find that I have to go to Charles County to find numbers of them. Where as American Crows are numerous and can be found in large flocks.
