    These guys are hanging around my place lately. I cant be sure what they are. First I thought they were ravens but they area bit small and their throats dont have those ruffled feathers ravens have.
    Are they carrion crows?
    Sorry about the pic quality, photo taken with my phone through my binoculars :)

    If it helps the feathers on thier bodys are matt black and thier wings are glossy black. The have black legs too and black beaks and black eyes. They are definitely eating insects because they can be seen moving their heads looking around and then they jump and strike. Its quite cool to watch.
