About this episode
This episode—which is Number 63—is about the Common Raven, Corvus corax. This species is also known as the Northern Raven.
Few bird species in the world are as geographically widespread as the Common Raven. And few are as familiar and iconic. This is a really amazing bird.
Ornithologists and other scientists have studied ravens extensively, so we know quite a lot about this species.
Today, we’ll look at the basic traits of the Common Raven as well as its behavior, habitats, diet, reproduction, and more.
