Hooded Crow

The Hooded Crow is the grey-and-black counterpart of the Carrion Crow, replacing it across much of northern and eastern Europe and parts of the Mediterranean. It is an intelligent generalist that thrives in both wild and human-shaped landscapes.

ID tip: The pale grey body contrasts sharply with the black head, throat, wings and tail. Its shape and voice remain those of a typical crow.

Built from verified occurrence records, not drawn by hand. Core range = the countries holding 99% of all records; the rest are scattered or vagrant records. Record counts track where people watch birds as much as where the birds are, so the map shows presence, not abundance. Data: GBIF (CC BY 4.0). Basemap: Natural Earth.
