_Corvus corax principalis_
Much larger than the Crow, the throat with long,
pointed feathers, instead of short, rounded ones.
L. 24.
_Range._ North America rare and local in the
Eastern States, south to New Jersey on the coast
and to Georgia in the mountains.
Crows _caw_, while Ravens _croak_; but to be sure that you have actually
seen a Raven he should be with Crows, when the Raven's much larger size
is evident. Unless, however, you should visit the few localities in the
eastern States where Ravens live you are not likely to make the bird's
acquaintance. Ravens nest on cliffs as well as in trees. Their eggs,
which resemble those of the Crow in color, are laid in April.
