Overview
The Mariana crow (Corvus kubaryi) (Chamorro: åga) is a species of the crow family from the tropical Western Pacific. It is a glossy black bird about 15 inches (38 cm) long and known only from the islands of Guam and Rota.
It is a rare bird which has steadily declined in numbers since the 1960s. On Guam there are no remaining native Mariana crows, the population having been wiped out by the introduction of the brown tree snake.
