No, ravens & crows are different birds. We have both around here.

The ravens are bigger with longer and wider wings and bigger beaks. They make different sounds than crows.

Sweet story! Thanks for sharing it, Photo Donna!

Did any of you see the PBS Documentary, "A Murder of Crows"? (In this instance, the word "murder" means a "flock" of crows. I didn't want anyone to think I was recommending a sad or shocking film.)

It's wonderful!

You can see the complete hour-long video here:

"Although cultures around the world may regard the crow as a scavenger, bad omen, or nuisance, this bad reputation might overshadow what could be regarded as the crow's most striking characteristic - its intelligence. New research indicates that crows are among the brightest animals in the world. A Murder of Crows brings you these so-called feathered apes, as you have never seen them before."

I was going to mention this program, DooB - I learned so much from it! They even recognized individual human faces after a year.
