Love the Ravens and Crows!
We took an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago and found the the ravens of Juneau are very tourist savvy, so much so that some townspeople considered them almost a pest!
Check out Steve Perry's website, if you haven't already. His information has helped me greatly with BIF.

Nice. By the size and looks of it, that would be a Raven and not a crow 
Thanks for looking and commenting.

That black patch on the top of the beak seems to be another way to determine the difference. When I went online to investigate, the differences focused on noises and shape of the tail feathers when flying, not too useful for this type of analysis. 
Certainly not with my bird photography (LOL).

Thanks, Mark, but I am too old and too slow to be a good birder.

Mike, it allways amazes me how good the photos from a phone can be. Not bad detail considering I used a DDL to see how much there was. Bird photography can be easy (Blinds and feeders) or as difficult as any photography of living animals that move around, Ants can be hard to get great photos without staging the shot. Most of my shots come from a blind (hide) with a 600mm lens and sometimes that lens may have additiona help from my 90D. My $.02.
