Abstract
The number of natal down feathers (neossoptiles) and their arrangement in specific feather tracts of the body (pterylosis) are given for 19 nestlings of the northwestern crow, Corvus caurinus, from the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia. The natal pterylosis of the northwestern crow is compared with that of other members of the genus Corvus in the Nearctic and Palearctic regions. This comparison points out several differences in the capital, abdominal, and caudal tracts within the genus.
