NSW Australia - Crow or Raven? (1 Viewer)

[IanC]

These images were taken in Port Macquarie NSW, I initially thought it was an Australian Raven but have never seen any sign of hackles? Wondering if anyone could Identify this bird? Thanks in advance.

I think it's Aus Raven with throat feathers like that in 2nd pic.

Did it sound like a dying sheep? "Awwwck!-Awwwck!-Awww!" ?

Pictures show a nice Australian Raven (it has the beard as Larry said.)

Thanks guys, sound matches a dying sheep.

Hi Ian,

Simpson & Day has pictures of the individual throat hackle feathers (between the text and the maps).

Cheers
