Endemic to Hispaniola and its satellite islands<\/strong>, (\u00cele-\u00e0-Vache, Saona, and possibly Gon\u00e2ve) where it occurs in a wide range of lowland habitats along the whole spectrum from arid to humid and from scrub to forest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Current distribution is patchy following decades of decline.\u00a0 In the Dominican Republic, found mainly in the eastern lowlands in and around Los Haitises and Del Este National Parks (including Isla Saona), and in the southwest from the Sierra de Neiba across the Enriquillo Depression to the Sierra de Bahoruco.\u00a0 In Haiti, healthy populations persist in the north around Cap-Haitien and the south along much of the Tiburon Peninsula (including the adjacent \u00cele-\u00e0-Vache).<\/p>

Formerly native to Puerto Rico, where extirpated around 1977.\u00a0 It has also been recorded as a vagrant on Navassa Island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Identification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

A large crow with a bull-neck and broad, heavy bill.\u00a0 Shows a vivid red iris at close range.\u00a0 The nominal white on the base of some neck feathers is rarely visible.<\/p>

Due to its eccentric voice and puffy appearance, it is unlikely to be confused with the other crow in its range, the Hispaniolan Palm Crow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
