Distribution: The American Crow (Eastern) is the most common crow seen in North America. It is seen throughout all of the accessible regions, even up to and into the northern tundras. The crow is known for its intelligence and is wary of humans by nature. It is seen from Newfoundland and Labrador up to the coast of Northern Quebec, around James Bay and into the southern boundaries of the Northwest Territories. From northern British Columbia to the base of California and across all the southern border states with Mexico. As well, it can be found at the tip of southern Florida and up the Atlantic coast to Nova Scotia.
References to Other Bird Sites:
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify and understand our fine feathered friends.
