"The Red Crow" is an Irish reel in A Dorian. <br> It is a modern composition by fiddler Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of the group Altan.<br> The name denotes an Irish species known as Cág Cosdearg, meaning "red-legged<br> Jackdaw". They are also known as choughs and are roughly the same size as a<br> Jackdaw. Uniquely for an Irish corvid they have bright red legs and feet.<br> Their most distinctive feature is their long, down-curved red bill.<br> The tune was recorded by Altan on The Red Crow (1990) and<br> The Best Of Altan (1997),<br> Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh on Imeall (2008) and<br> many others.<br>
