It was somewhere in between the normal chatter calls (only more rapid) and a sort of electronic, buzzy call like starlings will do sometimes, only loud. I wish the road I heard it next to wasn’t a main road through town, because it makes recording without a parabolic mic really difficult.

That’s really curious I’m not sure I’ve heard that one 🤔

What do you think the crow was saying?

I don’t know how well I speak crow, but to me it seemed like a ‘look what I can do!’ kind of call. Maybe vocal play or experimentation.
