Where to spot
Endemic to Jamaica, inhabiting forests, woodlands, and partially cleared areas, from lowland to montane regions.
How to spot
Look for an all-black crow in forested areas of Jamaica. Listen carefully for its unusual nasal calls and pig-like snorts, which are key identification features.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging in the canopy or on the forest floor. Best observed early morning or late afternoon.

This species exhibits a curious habit of 'snorting' or making pig-like grunts, a unique vocalization that helps distinguish it from other crow species.
