Where to spot
Endemic to Seram Island in Indonesia, primarily inhabiting lowland and hill forests, including primary and regenerating forest patches.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized, entirely black crow, paying attention to any subtle purple iridescence in good light. Its harsh, typical crow calls will indicate its presence within Seram's forests.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, often seen in the forest canopy or foraging on the ground in clearings. Best chances in early morning or late afternoon.
