About the Pied Crow
Handsome black-and-white crow. Found in almost all habitats except driest desert and thick rainforest. Feeds by walking along the ground. Strong flier that will fly high and occasionally soar. Common call is a typical crow “crawk”. Overall shape and size similar to some raptors, but none of them show Pied Crow’s contrast between black tail, white underparts, and black head.
