The American crow is the New World counterpart to the carrion crow and the hooded crow of Eurasia, occupying similar ecological niches. The American crow has all-black plumage, with iridescent feathers. It looks similar to other all-black corvids. It is highly intelligent, similar to other Corvidae, and is adaptable to human environments. Wikipedia →
