Crow initially flying, doing this? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cawing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doing this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'crow initially flying' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'flying' becomes 'awing' (rare adverb, sometimes spelled a-wing).
The first letter of 'crow' is 'c'.
'c'+'awing'='CAWING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cawing that I've seen is " Uttering the cry of a crow".)
