Sometimes when I'm out in the woods and country I hear different-sounding caws. I know they were all American Crows. I was wondering if they were younger crows, or maybe they were old ones whose voices got desiccated over the years.

Yes, it does change as they grow from tiny chick to adult crow. Also, the same crow changes its calls depending upon the time of year and also depending upon what the crows are "saying" to each other. It can be an alert to danger, a signal to fly away, an all clear, "I'm hungry" from a bird not yet developed enough to care for itself fully, and there is even an "I'm in the mood" signal among calls. Actually all birds have a varied vocabulary for communication, but we usually don't pay enough attention to hear them. Good ear!

Yes, the young have a more plaintive, pleading Caw, and as they have just finished coming out of the nest recently, you are probably hearing young Crows asking their parents to feed them.
