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