Scientific Name: Corvus cryptoleucus
Population Estimate: Unknown, but Least Concern status
Range / Habitat: Year-round in desert grasslands of southwestern US and northern Mexico.
Field Notes: Intermediate between Common Raven and American Crow. The size is approximately that of a crow, but the head is unmistakably raved-shaped as in the photo above. The call is the best differentiation, however.
Personal Notes: First heard, then seen, at Ramsey Canyon Preserve in Hereford, AZ. The photograph was taken later in town.
