Crows and Ravens
If you've been to my home, you know I love Ravens. I have ravens everywhere. And, I have many ravens outside in my garden. I also have big crows. Although I've read up on the differences, I can't always tell them apart. Someone (I didn't recognize the email address) sent me this chart recently. It certainly helps. I definitely have ravens in my big trees.
It may be a scavenger, but the crow reigns near the top of my favorite bird list. Played a role in lots of books and films, too.
ReplyDeleteI love them both. The way I always told the difference was the messy feathers vs neat feathers...
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post. We have a large population of what I always thought were crows, now I must make notes when I see them again. Might be ravens. I like them but they sure are ferocious predators, with other birds'nests etc. and ripping apart garbage bags.
