The Common Raven is a large, adaptable member of the crow family found across much of the Northern Hemisphere. Its heavy bill, shaggy throat, deep calls, and broad wings give it a distinctive presence. Ravens occupy habitats ranging from deserts and mountains to forests and coastal areas. They eat a wide variety of foods, including carrion, and are known for flexible problem-solving. Their interactions and aerial movements can be as striking as their entirely black plumage.
