A Common Raven (Corvus corax), looking rather disheveled. A flock of Ravens is called an unkindness. Oh dear, that would be hard to take.

The length of the Common Raven is between 22 and 27 inches inches and a wing span of 4 feet. They have a distinctive low gutturall croak call, quite different from the caw-caw of a Crow.

I was really pleased to realize this bird was a Raven. And pleased also to get photos of it. I’ve thought there were some up here but I’ve not been certain. Now I know for sure. Seems I live right at the edge of their range.
