	Crow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jackdaw-, crow- and raven-sized forms seem to have existed since long ago and crows were regularly hunted by humans up to the Iron Age, documenting the evolution of the modern taxa.
		Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion.
		In mythology and folklore as a whole, crows tend to be symbolic more of the spiritual aspect of death, or the transition of the spirit into the afterlife, whereas ravens tend more often to be associated with the negative (physical) aspect of death.

		Fish Crow In costal areas on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the United States, the fish crow, Corvus ossifragus, may be confused with the American crow, since they share the same habitat and sometimes appear in mixed groups.
		Generally, the fish crow is found by salt water or large rivers near the coast, but has been reported to be extending its range into other areas.
		Young crows will be completely dependent upon their parents for food for a couple of weeks after leaving the nest and it may be three or four months before they are completely able to obtain all of their food themselves.

		Endemic to the United States and living primarily in coastal and tidewater regions of the Southeast, the Fish Crow has greatly expanded its range in the last few decades and is increasing in numbers.
		Outside the breeding season, Fish Crows often cluster in large groups to forage and congregate into large roosts to sleep.
		Most citations of Fish Crow breeding biology date back to Bendire 1895 and have been passed along without critical review (e.g., Bent 1946, Harrison 1975, Baicich and Harrison 1997).

	The Fish-crow
		While the Raven and the Common Crow are ever on the watch to escape the effects of the enmity which man harbours towards them, the Fish-Crow pays little attention to him as he approaches, and even enters his garden to feed on his best fruits.
		When their fishing, which lasted about half an hour, was over, they would alight in flocks on the live oaks and other trees near the shores, and there keep up their gabbling, pluming themselves for hours.
		Like the other Crows, they are fond of replacing their wings, as it were, in their proper situations, frequently opening them out a little, and instantly closing them again.

	Birds - Fish Crow
		Compared with the common crow, with which it is often confounded, the fish crow is of much smaller, more slender build.
		Its plumage, too, differs slightly from the common crow's in being a richer fl everywhere, and particularly underneath, where the "corn thief" is dull.
		To say that the fish crow says car-r-r instead of a loud, clear caw, means little until we have had an opportunity to compare its hoarse, cracked voice with the other bird's familiar call.

	CDC - DNA Vaccine for West Nile Virus Infection in Fish Crows (Corvus ossifragus)
		The 9 crows in group 2 (8 fish crows and 1 American crow) were given 0.5 mg of the encapsulated DNA vaccine orally in 0.25 mL of PBS, and 20 fish crows (groups 3 and 4) were each inoculated and orally exposed as above except that a placebo was used in place of the vaccine.
		In both the oral vaccine and placebo groups, fish crows that died had higher viremia than those that survived their infection with WNV (Table 2).
		The death rate in these crows (4 [50%] of 8), was identical to that observed in the placebo-vaccinated group (5 [50%] of 10) and in a second group of unvaccinated fish crows (4 [50%] of 8) tested later (M.J. Turell and M. Bunning, unpub.

		When I worked on a fishing boat on the river Elbe in Germany I have seen Carrion crows taking injured fish (that had escaped from the net we were hauling in) up to 20 cm long.
		Allthough the fishes were quite heavy sometimes, the crows always caught them with the beak; like the Blackheaded gulls that were also present.
		But they never used the claws to catch the fish from the water although sometimes in the air a fish was handled over from the beak into the claws.
