Excluding those of you were experts in these fields of knowledge, can you distinguish a species of bird just by its call?

Aye, guv'nor -

- if she yells, "don't touch me, you pervert" and starts kicking at you, she's a nutcracker.
- If  she snickers an says, "you call that big?" she's a mockingbird.
- If she tells you all about her other "encounters", she's a crow.
- If, she says, "that will be another $500", she's a robin.
 
This here's a family site so I can't tell you what the call of a swallow is.

Yes. Among them are crows, blue jays, house finches and cardinals. 

I can tell crows and mourning doves by their calls.  Both are irritating as all get-out.  I can also tell an owl from its call. This post was edited by Spunky at February 6, 2025 11:56 AM MST

Yes...numerous species.
