Common Raven

Corvus corax

Description:

Not just large but massive, with a thick neck, shaggy throat feathers, and a Bowie knife of a beak. In flight, ravens have long, wedge-shaped tails. They're more slender than crows, with longer, narrower wings, and longer, thinner “fingers” at the wingtips. Common Ravens are entirely black, right down to the legs, eyes, and beak.

Habitat:

Near Santa Fe Ski Lodge in pine forest of Sangre de Cristo Mountains at 10,000 ft.
