For instance, the bird in this picture is a Carrion crow.

The Bird's Appearance
A Raven has a bigger bill and a shaggy throat. A Raven's bill is more parallel while a Crow's bill has a downward curve. Raven wings are shaped differently than a Crow's wings (longer primaries). This is a Raven in the picture. Crows
can mimic sounds made by other birds and animals, and have been taught to mimic the human voice. (www.crittercontrol.com)
