The Sierra Madre Crow is an all-black crow species endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is a relatively recent split from the Slender-billed Crow complex and is found in forest habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the northern and central Sierra Madre mountain range on Luzon, Philippines, primarily inhabiting primary and secondary lowland and montane forests.
How to spot
Look for an all-black crow in forested areas within its known range on Luzon. Distinguishing it from other regional crows might require keen observation of subtle morphological differences and reliance on its unique vocalizations.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during daylight hours. Its presence might be detected by its distinctive calls within its forested habitat.
This species was only formally recognized as distinct in 2020 based on genetic and morphological differences, highlighting the ongoing discovery of biodiversity even among familiar groups like crows.
