Jamaican Crow
Corvus jamaicensis Gmelin, JF, 1788
Corvidae — Crows, Jays
Jamaican Crow, Corvus jamaicensis, is a corvid that breeds on Jamaica in the West Indies. It was described by Gmelin in 1788. It is a comparatively small member of the crow family and is closely allied to the Cuban Crow and the White-necked Crow. Its plumage is sooty-grey and lacks gloss, with dark bare skin behind the eye and a smaller bare area at the bill base. The bill is slate-grey, deep and pointed, and the legs and feet are black. It lives in woodland, cleared country and larger gardens, and nests in tall trees, with tree holes also mentioned as a possible site.
