Except for the head, throat, wings, tail and thigh feathers, which are black and mostly glossy, the hooded crow's plumage is ash-grey, the dark shafts giving it a streaky appearance. The bill and legs are black; the iris dark brown.

The Hooded Crow in Israel
I couldn't resist blogging about this -- when we descended from the Church of the Visitation and were waiting for our bus, we saw some unique birds walking around on the cement. We found out that they are "hooded crows," typical in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Except for the head, throat, wings, tail and thigh feathers, which are black and mostly glossy, the hooded crow's plumage is ash-grey, the dark shafts giving it a streaky appearance. The bill and legs are black; the iris dark brown.
