large soaring black bird around the top of my si. Identifiable as a raven because of the raven's tendency to soar more than the american crow, and the straightness of its wings in flight, as opposed to the american raven which has more noticeably kinked, or pointed forward wings when flying. Also, the rural location of the habitat increases the likelihood that it was a raven not a crow, even though im sure it was a raven.
