We are starting to get a lot of these type of large birds here. They have a Black bill on them and i don't knoe what they are...
This is in Northern Utah...


The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Ravens are larger than crows. Here's a link that does a pretty good job of describing each and the differences.

Crow or Raven?

On a humorous note, I ran into a New Mexico Game Warden years back while calling coyotes and asked him how to tell if it was a raven or a crow since ravens are protected and you can't shoot them. He replied: "If it is in the air it is a raven, if it is dead on the ground it is a crow."

ravens usually in pairs/crows in flocks or the term for a flock of crows is a "murder"

Ravens are protected protected species, I'm pretty sure. Crows have seasons.

Quick way to remember is that Raven is a bigger word than crow and ravens are larger than crows.

Ravens have ROUND edge to tail (there is that R thing again), Crows tail feathers appear straight on the back edge.

Crows "Caw" (that C thing now). Ravens have a raspy croaking type sound.

Some of the raven subspecies out west will sport a yellowish beak as well.

If the bird says "Nevermore", it's a Raven.

In Baltimore they have number on their shirt but it is still easy to confuse em as they were 12-4 this year which is something to crow about. As a Cowboys fan it's a whole bunch to crow about.
