American Crow (Common Crow)

The American Crow is a familiar, intelligent, all-black bird with a robust bill, strong legs, and a characteristic caw vocalization. Highly adaptable, they thrive in close proximity to human settlements as well as deep wilderness.

Solid deep black with subtle iridescent metallic gloss showing hints of blue and purple under direct sunlight, uniform across both dorsal and ventral surfaces

Smooth, slightly glossy, and firm texture with good rigidity along the vane and a soft basal region

Solid deep black coloration, glossy iridescent sheen, symmetrical rounded tip, and sturdy corvid contour structure

Adaptable across diverse habitats including agricultural fields, open woodlands, scrublands, parks, and suburban areas

Year-round resident across most of North America, extending from southern Canada through the United States to northern Mexico
