I wonder if there would be interbreeding between crows and ravens.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08008574463499280758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-65761409488108032762013-05-16T11:54:32.747+10:002013-05-16T11:54:32.747+10:00It's hard to tell the difference, from a dista...It's hard to tell the difference, from a distance, but it doesn't really matter, they are in the same family, and most people wouldn't know anyway. Without sounding like a know it all, I did some more research, and found that Ravens also are more stocky, have a shinier coat, and a bigger, bulkier and hooked beak, and so now dear Stewart I really know how to tell the difference between crows and ravens, and will be studying them intently, to see exactly what we have here.

I tend to think this is a crow, Ravens have long feathers around their throat area.

I haven't gotten a good picture of one because they speed away when they see me. Actually there aren't ny on the west side of the mts here but plenty on the east side of the mountains. .
