The Samar Crow is a recently recognized species of all-black crow endemic to a few islands in the central Philippines. It is part of the 'Slender-billed Crow' group but distinguished by its vocalizations and genetic makeup.
Where to spot
Endemic to the islands of Samar, Biliran, Leyte, and Bohol in the central Philippines, inhabiting forests and adjacent cultivated lands.
How to spot
Identify this crow by its all-black appearance within its specific island range. Differentiating it from other crows in the region requires close attention to its unique vocalizations, which are key to its species recognition.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight. Focus on early mornings and late afternoons for better chances of observation.
Like the Sierra Madre Crow, this species was only recently described as a distinct entity, underscoring the hidden diversity within what was previously considered a single widespread crow species.
