Oh haiyyy, it’s #CrowOrNo time my friends. That means you tell me if this bird is a crow (has the word crow in its common name) or no and at 5:30PST I’ll tell if you were right and offer some ID tips. Good luck and if you like the game give it a RT! 
Alright folks, ready for this week’s answer? This bird is #NoCrow! As many of you guessed it’s a common raven!
Although this week’s main clue was subtle, once you know it, it’s a great subjective field mark to keep in your back pocket. Ready for it? Ok see these “horns”? That’s a raven thing. Crows don’t articulate their feathers like that.
Ravens on the other hand do all sorts of things with their head and throat feathers as this individual I photographed in Fairbanks was glad to show me.
So if you ever see the head feathers looking like this you know it’s a raven.
Thanks for playing this week! Seriously, it makes me so happy to read each of your guesses. Thanks for being awesome and wanting to learn about these wonderful birds. See you next time! Now go play #FindThatLizard with @Afro_Herper next!
