Congratulations Ava, this spotting is featured in the Project Noah blog! http://blog.projectnoah.org/post/31338827536/lets-talk-scientific-classification
Neat video of a murmuration of blackbirds: http://www.audublog.org/?p=6657 Brewer’s, Red-winged, and Tricolored. (The raven is the only black bird picture I have).
Check out this video of a snow-boarding crow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uXiAe7Oc-I&feature=player_embedded#!
Thanks Stian! the article is about ravens gesturing to each other with their beaks and wings!
Here's an interesting article about our brilliant friends the ravens: http://earthsky.org/biodiversity/ravens-gesture-to-each-other-with-their-beaks
Corvus brachyrhynchos is the American Crow. Ravens are bigger birds which hang out individually or in smaller groups while crows are a bit smaller but can hang out in flocks of hundreds.
