Pretty sure it is a Crow...I've seen Ravens,and they are much larger....Comparisons...Physical Differences: Crows average around 17 inches long, and ravens about 24-27. (The one I shot was 16" long...)A raven weighs about four times that of a crow. Crows have a wing span around 2.5 ft., and ravens about 3.5-4 ft. A raven's wing sometimes makes a prominent "swish, swish" sound, while a crow's wingbeat is usually silient.Ravens have pointed wings, while crows have a more blunt and splayed wing tip. Crows have a fan-shaped tail (squared-off), while raven tails are long and wege-shaped. Besides having a bigger, more powerful bill, a raven's bill is curved, while a crow has a more-or-less flat bill. Additionally, atop a raven's bill is a tuft of hairs absent on crows.Is that a crow or a raven?

But you still shot it on a telephone line shame shame shame now go to bed with out dinner Good shot. You know your crows from ravens.
Good shot. You know your crows from ravens.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.
