Field Notes

Description:

Common eurasian grey-and-black corvid. Except for the color, looks exactly like its first cousin, the all-black Carrion crow. About 50 cm in length.

Habitat:

This is a common resident in many urban and rural settings, and has no prefered habitat, it can be seen everywhere. Here, seen in coastal town of Zadar.

Notes:

As explained, common eurasian species, very close genetically to Corvus corone (Carrion crow) - it was longtemps considered as eastern subspecies of Carrion crow. The two species share Eurasia - C. corone (Carrion crow) in the west of Europe; and the extreme east of that landmass. Hooded crow occupies much larger territory, from Italy-Germany to China.
