On the Pacific coast it is replaced by C. caurmus. All Crows are more or less fish-eaters, and in some localities fishforms their staple diet. On the shores of Cape Breton, near thecoal districts, the fish-eating Crows are separated by the nativesfrom the common sort. It is said that the flight and voice of thesebirds can be readily distinguished. Some miners working atLepreaux, in New Brunswick, who were familiar with the fish-eating Crows of Cape Breton, drew my attention to a flock ofapparently small and peculiar-voiced Crows gleaning along theshores; but though easily trapped by a fish bait, they proved tobe nothing more than rather small common Crows. Note. — The American Magpie {Pica pica hudsonica) is aWestern and Northwestern bird, and occurs as a straggler onlyeast of the Mississippi. It has been taken in Michigan, northernIllinois, and western Ontario; also at Chambly, near Montreal.. BLUE JAY. Cyanocitta cristata. Char.
