I know this is an Alberta crow and one thing stands out - there is no hook in its beak and it looks sleeker, not as stocky.

Here’s a link from a quick Google search Jack, the Raven's tail is also very different in shape, so going back to dpc's photographs, you can see the flat tail shape instead of a wedge shape, so it's a Crow.

This is without doubt a raven. The guy on the fence was quite large.

Books says 24" raven, 16" crow which is obvious if side by side. The problem is at a distance.

I think this is a craven.

Don Haines, Cool! I had hoped we would get some snow in the mountains this year that I could use with the turkey shots but this has been a very dry winter in SoCal :/

Beautiful capture!

Yeah, the great egrets and woodstorks were both nesting, and the egrets were on eggs already. Roseate spoonbills and little blue herons were also in. First time there, but won't be my last!
