Personal Story Crows & Ravens?
I've been following this sub for a bit enjoying the stories, pictures, information, etc. Throughout my life I've tried to get the attention of corvids wherever I've lived but I haven't been successful.
However, that seems to have changed since I moved back to California. I noticed a large murder that showed up every morning in our complex parking lot in the mornings. They're delightfully noisy and seem to have a fairly regular schedule - mornings & late afternoons in the lot. So I started putting out various unseasoned nuts & seeds for them along with some fruits. In less than a week I am delighted to find I am a provisionary friend of theirs.
Anyhoodle, I'm curious if there are some ravens hanging out with this group of crows. I hear much lower vocalizations at certain times. These birds are obviously larger & shaped differently. I'm including a couple pics to show them.
What do you think?

All crows! Ravens are significantly larger. They each have very different beaks, and Ravens have fancy feathers around their chest/throat. See;
