IN-PERSON PRESENTATION
A big black bird flies over your head and you wonder, was that a crow or a raven? The two corvids have a lot in common and are hard to distinguish, at a glance. Join us for this talk and audio-visual presentation by Vancouver photographer June Hunter, which will give you a complete corvid clarity toolkit with all the tips for telling crows and ravens apart: appearance, location, behaviour and sound.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM LEADER
June has been watching and photographing crows and ravens daily for over 15 years and, aside from a collection of lovely portraits, has acquired insights into their personalities, nesting habits, family ties, seasonal behaviour and some hilarious individual quirks. For the last twelve years, she’s been sharing her photography and insights on her blog, The Urban Nature Enthusiast, and since 2016 has been publishing her popular City Crow Calendar.
The goal of every calendar is to delight the reader with beautiful crow photography, make them laugh and help them learn about crows and what they can teach us. The 2025 calendar has branched out to include ravens, offering twelve months of crow and raven photography and tips on telling these corvid cousins apart.
June’s talk is designed to expand on the information in the calendar and will give you all the tools you need to confidently answer that thorny question: Is that a raven or a crow?

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Skwxwú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
