I know a few things...size of course...the beak is bulkier...the tail is round when fanned...but when it's sitting on the birdfeeder? Not sure...I THOUGHT it was a raven, but as you can see, I had to get Liam to confirm it! (how he knows so much at 16 is BEYOND ME...but he's great!)

How can you tell the difference between a crow and a raven?
