Описание: It took me two years to learn that I was feeding TWO different species of crow at my feeders! This video is a quick guide to distinguishing the feisty Fish Crow from the much more common American Crow. Enjoy!

Special thanks to @HoodedCrowsOnly for first identifying fish crows in my videos!
