Brown-necked Raven vs Little Crow

Brown-necked Raven (Corvus ruficollis)

Brown-necked Raven

Corvus ruficollis

Large574 gDesert

Voice: The voice is very similar to the common raven's consisting mainly of croaks, though higher in pitch; and a harsh "karr-karr-karr". In flight, it will utter a "kuerk-kuerk" call. Like all corvids, the Brown-necked raven is capable of vocal mimicry, however this behavior is mostly recorded in captivity and, although rarely, in the wild.
