The Sinaloa Crow is a medium-sized, glossy black crow endemic to the Pacific coast of Mexico. It is closely related to the Fish Crow and Tamaulipas Crow, but has its own distinct range and vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Pacific coastal plain of Mexico, from Sinaloa south to Oaxaca, inhabiting coastal habitats, agricultural areas, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Look for an all-black crow. Differentiate it from other crows by its range and its distinctive, typically hoarser and more gravelly 'caw' calls, which are quite unlike the nasal calls of the Fish Crow.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day. Often visible in cultivated fields and coastal towns, especially at early morning and late afternoon.
