I have Fish Crows in my backyard often. I'm about 10 miles from the river, as 
the crow flies (pardon the pun), but I have a creek/stream near by. I also hear 
and see them at the JCC, which is about a mile or so from the river, and have 
seen eagles there, as well.

        I made a quick trip to Richmond to attend a family funeral and 
  stayed, as always, with my mother out near Tuckahoe Creek just inside 
  the county line.  She had, in addition to the regulars, a male indigo 
  bunting visiting her feeders.  This morning I heard a wood thrush 
  singing, probably in the woods along the creek, and, much to my 
  surprise, I heard, very clearly, a fish crow.
        I hear fish crows regularly 9 to 10 months a year here in 
  Fayetteville, so I'm thoroughly familiar with their calls.  However, 
  this was my first one in the Richmond area.  How common are they 
  along the James and its tributaries in the Greater Richmond area?
