Fish Crow View 2

This was a huge lifer for me. Fish Crows are rare here. You can't get credit for them with a photo only because they look just like regular crows. You have to hear them calling. They have an extremely nasal sounding call which is nothing like the American Crow's caws I am used to. Their habitat is bodies of water & wetlands. I knew there was a nesting pair here. Most people get credit by just hearing them & making a recording. I was incredibly lucky. This one perched high on a snag and called there right by the boardwalk at the wetlands section. So I got some shots & heard that unique call. So cool.
