    Good afternoon all,

    Per ...

    Interesting article......

    Was looking for something not mentioned in article. ...

    Why did Edgar Allen Poe name his poem "The Raven" when this bird is west of the Mississippi ? Here we have the crow.

    Anyone know ? Am interested and don't want to email the article's author.

    Please don't tell me to watch Alfred Hitchcok's "The Birds".

    Article has link to Audubon Society.

    Am now in the mood for a good shot of Wild Turkey but medical / health reasons preclude this in diet. In other words: "Quoth the raven: Nevermore".

    A Raven is a very large bird, they have them at the Tower of London, much bigger than a crow.

    Because nowadays biologist have more tools for correlating data than before, which include the use of big data.

    For example these 2 cats are considered two different species, although I can't see the difference between them but their taxonomy do differ enough to classify them as two distinct species.
