Fish Crow from "The Birds of America"

The Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) is a typical crow in appearance associated with wetland habitats. The Fish Crow is similar to the American Crow but is smaller and has a smoother plumage. The upperparts have a blue or blue-green sheen, while the underparts have a more greenish tint to the black. The eyes are dark brown. The differences are often only apparent between the two when side by side or, when heard calling.

The call of the Fish Crow has been described as a nasal "ark-ark-ark" or a "waw-waw". The two species are often distinguish in areas where their range overlaps with the mnemonic aid "Just ask him if he is an American Crow. If he says "no", he is a Fish Crow." referring to the most common call of the American Crow being a distinct "caw caw", while that of the Fish Crow is a nasal "nyuh unh"

The species occurs on the eastern seaboard of the United States from the state of Rhode Island south to Key West, and west along the northern coastline of the Gulf of Mexico

"Well, I thought you would," she said, playfully; "and, Frank, it is so lucky I There's not a soul in my house but me to-night.

Perhaps you will now understand how, in spite of the bigness of the world, Santa Claus is able to supply all the children with beautiful gifts. To be sure, the old gentleman is rarely seen in these days; but it is not because he tries to keep out of sight, I assure you. Santa Claus is the same loving friend of children that in the old days used to play and romp with them by the hour; and I know he would love to do the same now, if he had the time. But, you see, he is so busy all the year making toys, and so hurried on that one night when he visits our homes with his packs, that he comes and goes among us like a flash ; and it is almost impossible to catch a glimpse of him.

And, although there are millions and millions more of children in the world than there used to be, Santa Glaus has never been known to complain of their increasing numbers.

"The more the merrier!" he cries, with his jolly laugh; and the only difference to him is the fact that his little workmen have to make their busy fingers fly faster every year to satisfy the demands of so many little ones.
