By Tim, founder of Easy Street Markets. I maintain the wildlife database and verify every animal and source myself.

The states with the strongest confirmed populations are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut and Delaware, and 31 more. These are real, verified iNaturalist and GBIF occurrence records, not modeled range estimates.

Common Ravens have zero confirmed wild sightings in Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri, despite tens of thousands of nationwide observation records for the species. That is a real, checked absence, not a missing page.

A small number of states (2) have only a handful of unverified or vagrant records, too few to confirm common ravens as an established population there.
