Hi folks: Fish Crows are to be looked/listened for as American Crows come back, to their breeding territory, this month
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LnE7Da3yEQ It is time to keep an "ear" for Ontario Fish Crow. In the Video above you will find the "Ontario" Fish crows of Jan 31, 2015 That Dan Salisbury and I has in Ft Erie, as well as those that have been around in Bronte, Oakville (2012, 2013), in Ft Erie 2012, and to compare/contrast Fish Crow in Tampa Florida. After Andrew Don put in a ebird report about Fish Crows in Ft. Erie, Dan Salisbury and I found 2 Fish Crows on Torrance St., between Catherine and Gilmore Rd in Ft Erie. Since then, others have been finding these 2 FICR in the same area...at times on. Ellen St or Jennet St. { see Natham Miller's report } Note that, around this time last year, David Pryor had a Fish Crow near Ben McChree Park in south Mississauga and Dan Salisbury had one over his house in central Mississauga near Riverwood Conservancy. And, they appear thave nested in Burlington/Oakville Area Fish Crows are expanding in Ontario. As the "Crows" migrate back into our areas keep you ears open for the higher pitched single or double Nasal call "Cah" that the Fish Crows give. It is time for their return!!
