Saw two large black birds today. I don't believe they were big enough to be ravens.
I'm not sure if they were FISH CROWS or AMERICAN CROWS. To me fish and American crows look very similar, so I'm having a hard time identifying (I live in Southern NJ).
Thank you.

Did you happen to hear them. According to "All About Birds" Fish and American Crows are so close in looks that the easiest way to tell is by the sounds they make.
Here are some links for both Fish and American Crows. The first two are Fish Crow info and then Sounds. The second two are American Crow info and then Sounds.
