Crow

See text The true crows are in the genus Corvus; they are large Passerine birds. As a group they show remarkable examples of intelligence; it would not be at all an exaggeration to characterize crows as being to birds what higher primates (including humans) are to mammals. They also top the avian IQ scale[1]. Crows and ravens often score very highly on intelligence tests. Crows in the northwestern US (a blend of Corvus brachyrhynchos and Corvus caurinus) show modest linguistic capabilities and the ab ...

Crow: Encyclopedia - As the crow flies

"As the crow flies" is a colloquial term used to describe the most direct route between two points on the Earth. It is most often used to differentiate distance along this route with that along a less direct route, such as a road or railroad, and is generally the same as the great circle route. Some people use the variation "by the crow flies". An example would be the distance between Key West and Pensacola, at the two opposite ends of Florida. Driving, the distance is approximately 792 miles or 1275 km, but directly across the Gulf of Mexico it is o ...

Crow: Encyclopedia - Cuban Crow

The Cuban Crow, Corvus nasicus, is one of four fascinating species of crow that occur on a few key islands in the West Indies. Two of these species (The White-necked Crow, Corvus leucognaphalis and the Jamaican Crow, Corvus jamaicensis) share similar features to the Cuban Crow and are obviously very closely related whilst the third, the Palm Crow differs in certain key features and is a later arrival in evolutionary terms and shows characteristics more akin to the North American species such as the Fis ...

Crow: Encyclopedia - Carrion Crow

The Carrion Crow, Corvus corone, can be distinguished from the Raven by its size (48–52 cm in length) and from the Hooded Crow by its black plumage, but there is frequent confusion between it and the Rook. The beak of the Crow is stouter and in consequence looks shorter, and whereas in the adult Rook the nostrils are bare, those of the Crow are covered at all ages with bristle-like feathers. This species breeds in western and central Europe, with an allied form or race C. c. orientalis (50-56 cm in length) occur ...

The White-necked Crow, Corvus leucognaphalus, is the largest (42-46 cm in length) of the four West Indian Crow species.

Wheat Field with Crows is mistakenly considered by many to be last painting of the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh; yet he probably painted at least two or three other paintings after this one. The mistake has been perpetuated by the movie "Lust for Life" which depicts Van Gogh as painting this immediately before his suicide. The painting may represent a confusion in Van Gogh's decision-making with its three separating paths ...
