I'd appreciate some help identifying these three corvids I photographed in Austria during the Summer:
I know identifying corvids can be difficult and I'm not an ornithologist -- just an amateur bird watcher. After looking through many images of various crow species and their hybrids, I've tentatively identified these as:
- Carrion crow (Corvus corone)
- Carrion crow × Hooded crow (Corvus corone × Corvus cornix)
- Carrion crow × Hooded crow (Corvus corone × Corvus cornix)
I initially believed this to be a Hooded crow (Corvus cornix), but the broken coloration on the wings made me think it might actually be a hybrid as well.
Can someone here either confirm my identification or provide a more informed identification?
