Yes. Linguistically crows speak crow, and ravens speak raven. A raven is a type of crow. The word crow broadly speaking describes the genus, whereas the word raven describes a species of crow. Very roughly speaking, that is. Other types of crow are rooks, carrion crows, jackdaws, choughs, maybe magpies? http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/families/crows.aspx Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
