What do Oregon Birders think?

The crows along the coast here are awfully small - obviously smaller than the
interior crows. On top of that, they have different voices! But, as we
all know from the field guides, Northwestern Crows do not occur south of
the Puget Sound. Therefore, our coastal crows must be still another
species, and it was named several years ago Yachats Crow by some Oregon
birders. We still call them that. :-)
