Hi,

Andy's post reminded me of Fish Crow we had at Headlands last May.  Here
are links to photos:

In this instance the voice was a dead giveaway. However I am unsure if the
photos are at all conclusive.  The wing shape,( including primary lengths)
head and bill size, and tail length seem to be different from American
Crow, but I have never studied the morphological differences between these
species in detail.

I submitted a report to the OBRC soon after the sighting
including imitations of the crow's voice but have no idea if this record
was ever accepted.
