Who’s This Macabre Mystery Bird?

Stay cozy with another round of “Who’s That Bird!” Using the silhouetted image above and the three hints below, can you name this bird?

* Clue #1: By the early 1900s, these birds had almost gone extinct across the eastern United States due to clear-cutting, a decline in primary food sources, hunting, and poisoning. 
* Clue #2: This mystery bird appears in countless myths and religious texts, with a range of meanings, from prophetic to ominous.  
* Clue #3: When raised in captivity, this mystery bird can learn to mimic human voices. (Yes, including saying “nevermore.”)

Here’s a bonus hint: This bird’s four-letter banding code, which researchers often use as shorthand for species names, is CORA. Click here to learn more about this bird and reveal the answer ([link removed]).
