Chihuahuan ravens are somewhat smaller than common ravens and tend to have pale bases to their neck feathers (you can see this in the photograph of a wind-blown bird at upper right). This raven was coming to bait: a beef kidney strapped to the tree it's sitting on. I took the photograph on a ranch near Roma, Texas. The other birds were photographed in Green Valley, Arizona; they were so small I initially mistook them for crows, but the curved culmen (upper bill) and their voices quickly led to the proper identification. |
