      These are crows Angie :) Found this for you. First ravens are quite a bit larger than crows about the size of a red-tailed hawk with a wingspan of 3.5 – 4 feet wingspan and 24 – 27 inches long from head to tail. Crows roughly have a 2.5 foot wingspan and are about 17 inches long. Ravens as such weigh a bit more at approximately 40 ounces while crows are half that weight at 20 ounces. The above info came from: https://www.sacnaturecenter.net/visit-us/nature-blog/ask-a-naturalist-what-is-the-difference-between-a-raven-and-a-crow/

    Darling post, Denise! I always get confused about the crow and the raven. We had a whole murder of crows flying through our neighborhood yesterday. Though I know they were chattering about something important, I wondered what was up. They are fascinating birds!
