A friend I used to play golf with could identify the song of every bird she heard - it just amazed me. She had a collection of stuffed birds that when you squeezed them, their song would play. The stuffed birds looked exactly like the real ones.

A few years back during the Masters Tournament, someone on the TV production crew decided the broadcast needed some background and added some bird calls. They were flooded with complaints from the birders who said that the birds in the background could not be in Georgia.

Crows say "Caw" and Ravens say "Cronk."

Kind of a variation on "You say Tomato and I say Ta-mah-to"?

Is there a way to distinguish crows and ravens by looking at them? Last Wednesday, when I drove up to get Kelsey, there were a number of large black birds sitting on fence posts. I could not tell if they were common crows or if they might have been ravens.

There were a lot of hawks sitting on fence posts as well.
