A Sense of Scale
It isn't often, you see these two birds posing together with their wings spread.
They were flying over a dam when this shot was taken.
For further reference, I researched the wingspans of these birds.
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) has a greater wingspan.
According to National Geographic: 5-6 ft or, 1.5-1.8 meters.
The Crow (genus Corvus) has a wingspan of 39 inches or, 1 meter.
That's from the good folks at Britannica.
Crows May Be Confused with Ravens
For those who like to know everything about birds, I did some digging.
People sometimes argue, make bets or, just discuss ravens and crows.
If you get some of these birds in your yard and want to identify them, try this.
Visit Crow vs Raven
Read about the birds, look at images, watch videos and, listen to the sounds they make.
Then, you will be an expert at, winning bets over crows and ravens.
That black bird flying below the Osprey is a Crow.
Wanna bet ?
