It is known for its glossy black feathers, strong beak, and distinctive wedge-shaped tail. This species often inhabits deserts, grasslands, and open woodlands, where it forages for food such as insects, small mammals, and carrion.

Their adaptability allows them to thrive in harsh environments, making them a common sight in the Chihuahuan Desert.
