The fish crow is a small black bird from the crow family. It lives near rivers, lakes, and sea coasts of eastern North America and often catches fish and other aquatic animals.
The fish crow is smaller than the American crow and makes a higher and more nasal call. It helps nature by eating food scraps and insects, and spreads plant seeds.
Forages for food in shallow water, on the shore, or in tree crowns. Can dive to shallow depths.
