Hi all
Can anyone help with this query from a musician friend?
None
of the common books are any help,
though Taylor and Day suggest 4 caws
for a Little Raven 6 to 8 for an Australian
By the way, a question raised by my walk this morning:
when a crow* caws, how many separate sounds does it utter, typically?
What is the frequency distribution, and what meaning should be attached, if
any,
to a "short" caw (4 or fewer separate sounds) as distinct from a "long"
one (7 or more)?
* By "crow" I mean the large
black (only) bird that looks like a crow and inhabits the woodland around
Westbourne Woods.
