Where to spot
Endemic to the mountainous regions of eastern Africa, particularly in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, found in montane forests, moorland, and high-altitude grasslands.
How to spot
Its most distinguishing feature is its large, pale, ivory-colored bill. Look for this large, black raven soaring high or perched on prominent rocky outcrops. Its calls are typically deep, resonant croaks.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, often seen soaring over valleys and peaks, or foraging in open areas. Best observed in the morning when thermals are forming.
