"if you think its a raven, its a crow, and if you think its a crow its a raven" so goes the classic quote.

one recent quote i heard on the bus: "ravens are near humans, crows are in the country"




Absolutely the opposite, loads of crows in the city, few ravens if any.

Above holds true in Western US and Eastern Canada at least.


In my area, I see crows all the time, sitting on power lines and messing with posters on the street and so on. These are hooded crows and easy to distinguish from ravens. I see ravens as well, but not quite as often - though one of my local grocery stores has a small flock (murder!) of ravens that likes to forage in the parking lot. And to be fair, I live in a decently sized city of around 180,000.
