Day 157: Corvus brachyrhynchos is slightly larger than Corvus caurinus and has a marginally deeper, hoarser voice. So says David Allen Sibley in "The Sibley Guide to Birds." I suspect that the dividing line is rather indistinct in areas such as mine where the two populations overlap because like the forms of Dark-Eyed Juncos, the species interbreed. In any event, I don't ask for identification for admission to the breakfast table. This fellow expected seconds this morning. Who could possibly deny that pointed stare?
I might be afraid to deny that stare! He looks fierce! I'm always in awe of the quality of your bird photos!
