American Crows are very social, sometimes forming flocks in the thousands. Inquisitive and sometimes mischievous, crows are good learners and problem-solvers, often raiding garbage cans and picking over discarded food containers. They’re also aggressive and often chase away larger birds including hawks, owls and herons. Regional Differences Crows in the West are slightly smaller than eastern crows. Crows in Florida are small with large feet. Crows in the Pacific Northwest were formerly known as the Northwestern Crow and considered to be a separate species until 2021. They are slightly smaller and have a deeper voice.

You’re outside, enjoying a sunny day when a shadow at your feet causes you to look up. A large, black bird flies over and lands in a nearby tree. You wonder: is that a crow or a raven? These two species, Common Ravens and American Crows, overlap widely throughout North America, and they look quite similar. But with a bit of practice, you can tell them apart. You probably know that ravens are larger, the size of a Red-tailed Hawk. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups. Also, watch the bird’s tail as it flies overhead. The crow’s tail feathers are basically the same length, so when the bird spreads its tail, it opens like a fan. Ravens, however, have longer middle feathers in their tails, so their tail appears wedge-shaped when open. Is that a raven or crow? Don't get confused next time you're in the field. Listen closely to the birds’ calls. Crows give a cawing sound. But ravens produce a lower croaking sound. We’re back looking up at that tree. Now can you tell? Is this an American Crow or a Common Raven? That’s a raven.

Crows, from the Corvus genus of the Corvidae family, are exceptionally intelligent birds. Not only are crows excellent at completing advanced problem-solving tasks, but they’re even capable of abstract thought and may even think in a similar way as we do. So what about baby crows? Baby crows are a relatively rare sight, and there are good reasons why many people never see one. This article will delve into everything you need to know about baby crows, and there will be plenty of photos of the elusive baby crow along the way! What does a baby crow look like? The chicks of most species of crow hatch with a light covering of shaggy and fluffy feathers. Some crow nestlings are almost naked and have large, pinkish bills. Another remarkable characteristic of baby crows is their blue eyes which make crow chicks and juveniles reasonably easy to spot amongst adults. How big are baby crows? Baby crows are just a few centimetres long when hatched but grow rapidly, achieving much of their adult size before fledging the nest after a month or so. The species in the crow family that actually contain ‘crow’ in their common name are quite similarly sized, for example, the smallest, the Little crow, measures 42 to 48cm in length, whereas the largest crows only measure 55cm or so at the most. Whilst the much larger ravens are also in the same genus as crows, they do not contain the name ‘crow’ in their common name - but they are in some way still crows - What do juvenile crows look like?
