It’s that time again folks! From penguins to corvids, tuxedos are a popular look in the bird world. But is this particular fashionista a #CrowOrNo? I’ll post the answer around 5:30 PST, though no promises because I’m on fieldwork time 😉. Photo c/o Frans Sellies.
Nicely done folks with the amazing turn out! As most of you guessed today’s #CrowOrNo is most definitely a crow! An African pied crow to be precise.
You can distinguish pied crows from magpies by the heavier bill and thicker rictal bristles (nasal feathers) on the crow. Probably the best tell though is the hackle like throat feathers on a pied crow.
Thanks for playing everyone! Come back next week!
