Three Fish Crows were hanging around in the boat launch at Gordon Park
in Cleveland this morning. I observed one for a while and heard it
vocalize, then it was joined by two more birds. Eventually all three
flew away as two American Crows approached them, so I had a good
opportunity to compare sizes and calls.
The calls are here (fairly bad audio):

The eBird checklist, with the fairly bad images I posted to flickr, is here:

Surely these birds are nesting nearby...
Otherwise, the birding was fairly quiet in Cleveland Lakefront Nature
Preserve; it was very windy there. I had more species of warbler in my
Cleveland Heights yard in ten minutes of birding than I did at CLNP.
