The Banggai Crow is a critically endangered and highly localized species of crow, endemic to a very small island group in Indonesia. It is a large, glossy black crow with a heavy bill.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to the Banggai Islands, specifically Peleng Island, off the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, primarily in forest habitats.
How to spot
Observing this crow is extremely challenging due to its critically endangered status and limited range. Look for large, all-black crows in mature forest canopy. Knowledge of its calls is essential for detection.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Due to its rarity and elusive nature, any daylight hour observation is significant. Best chances might be early morning or late afternoon.

For over a century, this crow was known only from two specimens collected in the late 19th century, leading to fears it was extinct, before being rediscovered in 2007.
