Forest Raven

The Forest Raven is 50–52 cm in length with glossy black plumage and a white iris. It has a proportionately larger bill and shorter tail than the other mainland corvid species and is the sole representative of the genus Corvus in Tasmania. The call is a deep korr-korr-korr-korr with a similarly drawn out last note to the Australian Raven.

The Forest Raven is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Forest Ravens, and today, in two different venues, I managed to make some improvement. While processing the shots, I realised that far from being black, seen in the right light, they're a rather nice, shiny, dark royal blue. For some time I believed, wrongly, that they were a Tasmanian endemic, perhaps the latin name corvus tasmanicus suggested that. I can recall photographing a very co-operative 'crow' on Wilson's Promontory some years back. More

Photo Wanted The Forest Raven (Corvus tasmanicus) is a large Australian species (50-52 cm in length) that inhabits the island state of Tasmania as well as other parts of south-eastern Australia. It has a proportionately larger bill and shorter tail than the other mainland corvid species and is the sole representative of the genus Corvus in Tasmania. An outlying population exists in a small area in the tablelands of north-eastern New South Wales. More

The Forest Raven inhabits a wide range of habitat within Tasmania such as woods, open interrupted forest, mountains, coastal areas, farmland and town and city fringes. It is also found in southern Victoria from the Otway Ranges east through Wilsons Promontory into Gippsland. Of concern is the fact that, in its present stronghold — the state of Tasmania — the Forest Raven is one of only four native birds that have no legal protection outside national parks and other reserves.
