The American Crow is a widespread and highly recognizable all-black corvid found across much of North America. Known for its intelligence and complex social behaviors, it is a common sight in various habitats.
Where to spot
Common across most of North America, from southern Canada to the southern U.S. and northern Mexico, found in nearly every habitat type including forests, agricultural fields, parks, and urban areas.
How to spot
Look for a medium-large, entirely black bird with a strong, straight bill. Listen for its classic, loud 'caw-caw' calls. They are often seen in groups, foraging on the ground or perching on tall structures.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often forming large communal roosts in winter that are impressive at dawn and dusk.

American Crows are highly intelligent, capable of problem-solving, using tools, and even recognizing individual human faces and holding 'grudges' against those who have disturbed them.
