If they look like crows but are bigger, they're probably ravens. Both are big and black, but crows have a squared tail and ravens have a more curved beak.

A few months back, my wife and I saw 8 or 10 normal crows along with four huge crows. The big crows were more than twice the size of the normal crows. The big crows exhibited a strange behavior, in that they would spread their wings and stand or strut. It looked like a mating ritual. This sighting was in Opelika Alabama in December 2014. Has anyone else seen these huge crows?
