1. Statistically, squirrels, snakes, and meso carnivores kill a lot more songbird nestlings. One of the best ways people can help songbirds is by keeping their cats indoors! 2. I've seen them pretty much everywhere! We have a lot in my area. 3. Yes, we have both. I mostly tell them apart by their voices, especially if they're near a lot of trees and I can't see them clearly. Crows are much more social and tend to be in bigger groups than ravens. 4. Lots of small animals benefit from crows mobbing and driving off raptors that would otherwise prey on them. Even my chickens probably benefit from crows driving off the occasional Cooper's hawk.
