CROW, ROOK or RAVEN?
These three large corvidae birds are extremely similar in their appearance, especially from afar, so here are a few ways to tell the difference:
CROW
• Smaller solid black beak with slight bill feathering
• Tends to roam in large groups (murders)
• Smooth plumage, particularly around head and throat
• Tail feathers even in length, forming a fan shape
ROOK
• Large pale, straight beak with no feathering
• Roams and lives in large rookeries
• Long wings that narrow towards the body
• Feathery trousers
RAVEN
• Large, rounded black beak with distinct bill feathers
• Seen alone or with their mate only
• Shaggy plumage around the head, throat and breast
• Long, diamond shaped tail

“The Backwoodsman is a soldier from necessity. Mind and body have been disciplined in a practical warfare. He belongs to this continent and to no other. He is an original. He thinks “big”; he talks “big”; and when it is necessary to toe the mark, he acts “big.” He is the genius of the New World.”
