The Tamaulipas Crow is a medium-sized, glossy black crow found in northeastern Mexico. It is similar in appearance to the Fish Crow but has distinct vocalizations.
Where to spot
Found in northeastern Mexico, primarily in the state of Tamaulipas, inhabiting coastal plains, open woodlands, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for an all-black crow. The most reliable way to identify this species is by its vocalizations, which are typically deeper and more guttural than the nasal calls of the Fish Crow, often described as a 'caw-ah'.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, with large flocks observable at communal roost sites during non-breeding seasons, particularly at dusk and dawn.
