I have never seen ravens of that size in my travels, the ravens in northwestern Ontario have wing spans up to five feet. Ravens may be larger than that in Greenland but I’d be surprised if they had wing spans of up to 7 feet. If you go back be sure to ask locals about the size of their ravens.

I enjoyed your article which I came upon while searching for corroborating stories to my having seen many huge ravens while working in Thule Greenland. There are those who believe that I am exaggerating when I claim to have seen them with a wing span of 6-7 feet. Have you heard of this?

I enjoyed the site and like the drawing of the raven. I lived with ravens in CA and noticed that they lived in different valleys than crows. There are no ravens here in Racine, WI and I miss seeing them. I wish PBS Nature program would do a story of ravens after doing such a nice one on crows last week.
