Nat. , 1886, pp. 691-700, 777-787. STARLINGS. 259 The Fish Crow can be distinguished from the common Crow in life only by its call. Its voice is cracked and reedy, and its notes re- semble those of a young common Crow. Instead of the loud, clear, open caw of adults of that species, it utters a hoarser car, as if it t...alked through its nose ! The difference is perhaps not appreciable upon paper, but one who is familiar with their calls need never con- fuse these two birds in the field. The Fish Crow, while not confined to the coast or even the vicinity of water, is not found far inland. FAMILY STURNID^E. STARLINGS. An Old-World family containing some two hundred species.
