    Another difference in crows and Ravens.. Crows have 2 talons in front and back like a parrot... Ravens have 3 in front.. One in back..

    Lori, I read a book, awhile back, called "Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds", by, Bernd Heinrich. Fascinating book, I highly recommend it!

    Brandon... I'm not sure that's correct. Check out the following description (from http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/crows.html):

    Figure 4. The four toes in a crow’s track are about the same length, and in good prints each toe leaves a claw mark at the end. Three thick toes point forward, and one long toe (equally thick) points back. The total length of a print is approximately 3 inches.(From Pandell and Stall, Animal Tracks of the Pacific Northwest.)


    I believe that psittacines are the only birds who have two front toes and two back toes. I may have missed something, but that's been my understanding and it comports with my observations throughout life.

    Thanks Mare, I'll have to take a look at it. Ravens and crows fascinate me with their intelligence.
