American crows are the common, completely black birds with which many people are familiar. Their feathers are shiny and have a slightly shimmery effect in light. They have very strong legs and toes used for holding on to food and helping to take flight. Their bill is also black and bends slightly at the end.

Younger crows are about the same size as their adult counterparts, except their eyes are blue and the inside of their mouth is pink. The older a crow becomes, the darker the eyes and inside of the mouth become. Younger birds also have more pointed ends to their feathers which broaden and get flatter as they grow older. Younger crows can get brown and sickly looking through their first winter and will get more black after they shed their feathers.
Crows are often confused with ravens, which are usually much larger, have a different call, and have a tail that comes to a point. A crow’s tail does not come to a point but is somewhat broader.
