Calls

Fish Crows have a distinctive caw that is short, nasal and quite different-sounding from an American Crow. This call is sometimes doubled-up with an inflection similar to someone saying uh-uh. They also make an even shorter, higher-pitched call when in large groups, when perched or in flight.

Other Sounds

In aggressive situations, Fish Crows can make a mechanical rattle that lasts about a second.
