Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Tim Brush is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Calls eliminated American Crows, which were calling at the same time. I am familiar with both adult + young crow calls of both American + Fish Crows. The calls were identical to those of Fish Crows in New Jersey. The circling behavior is unique to Fish Crows + the upriver migration is typical of Fish Crows in NJ - overmigration | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:53:00/09:54:00.
Occurrence Status present
Field Number 1991-23
Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: light overcast, 75' overhead (estimated), 10x40 Leitz binoculars
