The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a large passerine bird common throughout much of North America. The American crow is black, with iridescent feathers. It looks like the Common Raven (Corvus Corax) but is much smaller in size. The American crow was first described by the German ornithologist and pastor Christian Ludwig Brehm in 1822. It is an omnivorous bird and will feed on anything it can find through scavenging or hunting. The intelligent crow is able to modify and use natural tools to obtain food. American crows reach breeding age at two years or more but most do not breed until they are four or five years old. The nesting season starts in early April with birds building stick nests in trees and bushes. A typical clutch is from three to six eggs which are incubated for 18 days. Fledging takes place about 36 days after hatching. This American crow was photographed while standing by Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

The Common Raven (Corvus corax), is a large black bird widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere. It is the most widely distributed of all corvids. The success of the common raven as a species is probably due to their omnivorous diet. They are very versatile and opportunistic in finding food. They will feed on dead animals, insects, grains, berries, fruit, small animals and human food waste. There is considerable evidence that the raven is unusually intelligent. They can solve problems, engage in play, make and use tools. They have been observed breaking off tree twigs and playing socially with them. Ravens can mimic sounds from their environment including other bird songs and even human speech. The raven looks like its cousin the crow except it is much larger, has a bigger and heavier beak and shaggy feathers around its throat. Common ravens can thrive in varied climates. This species has the largest range of any member of the genus. Their preferred habitat is wooded areas with open land nearby. The raven has a special place in Native American culture. Southwestern tribes like the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni consider the raven to be a bird of creation that brings sunlight to their people. This common raven was photographed on Campbell Mesa in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
