German: Sundkrähe
Spanish: Cuervo de Alaska
Taxonomy: Corvus caurinus S. F. Baird, 1858, Fort Steilacoom, Washington, USA.
May form a superspecies with C. brachyrhynchos, with which it appears to interbreed in S of range. Genetic swamping of unique features of present species may be accelerated by increasing expansion of C. brachyrhynchos facilitated by urbanization and agricultural development of formerly densely forested NW Pacific coast. Monotypic.
Distribution: S Alaska (E from Kodiak I) and coast and islands of SW Canada S in USA to NW Washington.
