Ok, that one worked. To me it looks like their tails are a little different.

It might just be the picture, but the feathers of the mexican crow are smoother.

According to my bird guide, the key difference is that the american crow has a "flat" tail, while the mexican crow has a "squared" tail

yeah. the mexican crow looks as if the tail is a bit more chiseled.

Personally, I would wait for the list to come out before I started learning stuff.
But that's just me.
Actually, I would probably start learning the basics on birds, but I would wait until I got the list before I went into specific birds.
