There is currently a project going on in UW Psychology Dept. to sort out
the genetics of crows in the Pacific NW and up to Alaska (I think).
According to a recent interview on KUOW's Weekday program the work in
nearly finished.

Apparently american crow is a "recent" immigrant to the area so Wayne's
comment about there being a cline of hybridization with increasingly
"pure" northwestern crows occurring further north seems to be borne out
by the comments made about the genetics work performed so far.
