The Somali Crow is a medium-sized, entirely black crow found in the arid and semi-arid regions of the Horn of Africa. It is closely related to the Cape Crow and the Brown-necked Raven.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Horn of Africa, particularly Somalia, eastern Ethiopia, and northern Kenya, inhabiting arid grasslands, savannas, and acacia bushlands.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized, all-black crow in its specific dry habitat. Differentiating it from similar species like the Cape Crow or Brown-necked Raven often relies on its smaller size, finer bill, and specific geographic range. Its calls are typically harsh 'caw-caw' notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often seen foraging on the ground or perching conspicuously on bushes and trees.
