Fascinating pictures. Neither albino nor black, I wonder what that was about?

We get similar birds here in WA but I've never been sure what they're called. Most people refer to them as crows but some say that the ones here should be called ravens. So I really don't know what to call them. unlike many of the other species we see near the house they have never grown to trust us and are very watchful.

They seem very intelligent and also apparently have strong bonds. When a younger bird was killed nearby some years ago the surviving adult pair mourned loudly for hours.

The attached picture was also taken on a 7DMk2. Is it a crow, a raven or are both names applicable?


Cheers,

Chris
