yes, it is, because ravens are a type of crow. What I pointed out below, which the RSPB backs up, is that in British English 'crow' is a family name, and ravens are a type of crow. If American English has things differently, so be it. Incidentally, the Latin word corvus, which is the genus name for all these things in the Linnean system, is raven in English, so in that sense all crows are ravens. Wikipedia seems to take the same view as the RSPB, namely " Crows /kroʊ/ form the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. Ranging in size from the relatively small pigeon-size jackdaws (Eurasian and Daurian) to the Common Raven of the Holarctic region and Thick-billed Raven of the highlands of Ethiopia" This crow-espondence is now crowsed.
