Large-billed Crow

Corvus macrorhynchos

Description:

The Jungle Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos, 46-59cm) (Corvidae), is a widespread Asian species of crow. It is very adaptable and is able to survive on a wide range of food sources, making it capable of colonizing new areas, due to which it is often considered a nuisance, especially on islands. It occurs in woodland, parks and gardens, cultivated regions with at least some trees. It has a large bill which is the source of its scientific name macrorhynchos (Ancient Greek for "large beak"), and it is sometimes known by the common names Large-billed Crow or Thick-billed Crow. It can also be mistaken for a raven. (Wikipedia)

Habitat:

Spotted in Sheung Ling Pei, Tung Chung, Lantau Island HK.

Notes:

Current IUCN Red List category: Least Concern, http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species...
