I had read some posts about a colony of Fish Crows at the Windham Mall . . . a town thirty miles inland from Portland.

On Labor Day afternoon I braved 90 degree weather and tourist traffic to add this unusual bird to our life list.

Drove in behind the Bank of America branch (as described in the various posts) and sure enough there were two small crows feeding.

To confirm their species, I played Fish Crow sounds and immediately another 6 birds flew in to join the originals . . . and they all started singing back to me . . . identity confirmed.
