Hi Fatih,
No, I don't agree. It lacks the much more extensive beard and heavy body of Corvus corax kamtschaticus. The bill is not heavy enough, for me, for Corvus macrorhynchos japonensis (levaillantii does not range on Sakhalin Is.). For me, I might tend to think it is probably Corvus corone orientalis.

Hi Steve,
It's nice to see you again. First of all thanks a lot for BF link |=)|
After the "Garrulus glandarius brandtii" on TN this is the second species that I couldn't find in my book. I think I am going to buy a better one |=)|
I am not sure about the "Corvus corone orientalis" there is not much documents on internet. Anyway I believe you are right.
Thanks and best wishes from Turkey,
Fatih

I think the first and last birds are Carrion Crow, as they both appear slender-billed and the latter has the wrong tail shape for Largr-billed Crow (it is no longer called Jungle Crow..as that is another species).
The second bird with its raised hackles and huge bill is as Mike says Large-billed Crow.
There are three species in Hokkaido and Sakhalin, the third being Northern Raven, but in Hokkaido that is a rare winter visitor and any way none of those birds are Raven.

Wow
I must have lost the reply last time..so here goes again.
The 'race' in Asia is Corvus corone orientalis (as mentioned by Steve). It is a little larger than Corvus corone corone, with a slightly longer tail, broader wings and different vocalizations.
It is also seperated on range from it's European congener by Hooded Crow.
It may well be split in the near future.
