Hi everyone,
I was near a bird feeder the other day when a hooded crow landed on a nearby tree and started to make rather weird sounds. I've recorded them, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frS-P-Qv1I8. Can anyone please give some comments - is it some kind of a mating call, or a sign of aggression, or just a random noise? I've never heard such calls before (not to say that I heard a lot). A few days later I saw another crow making the exact same call about a mile away from the previous location.
