crow call

Black bird's cry

A crow call is a device used by hunters to imitate the sounds of crows, typically to attract the birds within shooting range or to locate them.

The calls range from simple mouth-blown tubes to electronic devices that produce multiple crow vocalizations.

Birders and wildlife photographers also use them: I brought my crow call hoping to draw them out of the treeline.
