. The birds of Britain : their distribution and habits . Magpie The genus Corvus, or Crow, includes not only theCrows proper, but also the Jackdaw and the Raven, allof which are big glossy black birds. The Jackdaw(C. monedula) breeds throughout the Palsearctic regionas far eastward as the Yenisei river, with the exceptionof the more Arctic parts of Europe, the Faeroes andIceland ; it is easily distinguished by its grey nape, while its note is not a caw, but a repetition of jake, P(fsscre8 91 jake.
