Aren’t ravens also the size of red-tailed hawks, while crows are closer to (but still noticeably larger than) pigeons in size? It’s been a bit since I’ve seen them side-by-side.
the size of crows varies regionally. east coast crows in north america are considerably larger than west coast crows. further east coast crows are dispersed further into rural areas
Here in my “suburban” mid Atlantic yard I have crows and owls battling it out for supremacy while the ravens steal the food those two are fighting for.
