Common Raven
Corvus corax
ID Notes 5
The Common Raven, Corvus corax, is uncommon in Western New York (although they do appear occasionally). Large crows are often mistaken for ravens, which can primarily be distinguished by their large size. Ravens are nearly as large as Red-tailed Hawks. Ravens are relatively rare in our area, and are larger than crows but with a very similar appearance. In addition to their larger size, ravens have a shaggy appearance to the feathers around throat, longer bristles at the base of the bill, and a thicker bill with more of a curve to it when compared with a crow.
