Ravens in the United States

Nature volume 29, page 478 (1884)Cite this article

In answer to the query of your correspondent “Manhattan,” who writes from New York, under date of Jan. 11, concerning the prevalence of ravens in the United States, I would like to remark that ravens quite replace the crow in Nevada. I have never seen them here in the east. Mr. Ridgway who was with me in 1867-68 could give you much valuable information in regard to their habits and range.
