Crow
The crow is a fairly large bird, 17 to 21 inches from bill to tail (43-53 cm), with
the mean weight for males 458 grams and for females, 438 grams. Its plumage appears black at
a casual look, though it contains various other colors as described below. Bill, legs, and
feet are black, though very young birds may have yellow areas on the bill.
Eyes in adults are dark brown, while young birds have blue eyes. In flight the crow has what is
described as a "fan shaped tail", as distinct from the "wedge shaped tail" of the larger common
raven.
