Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) - 12Jan2025

Although this is a super common crow in the southeast where I live, I only have 4 pictures in my photo bank!  Familiarity breeds contempt I suppose.  They are super smart like many corvids and I regularly see them doing remarkable things like hammering acorns against pointed objects to get the nut out.  Their range has been expanding but they are mostly a bird of the southeastern United States. The trademark uh-uh call makes them easy to separate from an American Crow, but otherwise they look almost identical.  I suppose some ornithologists would be able to tell them apart based on leg length.
