Wildlife Wednesday: Ravens at Grand Canyon National Park
It’s a bit tricky to identify a crow versus a raven bird. They looked alike as black colored birds and intelligent ones. I saw a bird when visiting the amazing Grand Canyon National Park. I assumed it was a raven bird due to its large size – bigger than a pigeon. A crow is known to have smaller size that similar to a pigeon.

Ravens at Grand Canyon National Park
According to Grand Canyon National Park’s website, ravens are common sight in the park, especially at the rims area. I met few of them at the South rim. I wish I could take pictures of them flying with the canyon as the background. Unfortunately, they were too fast or let’s say I was too slow to click the shutter when they flew around the canyon 😀


For now, I only have the raven’s pictures when the bird took a rest at the tree’s branch…
Ok so I have learned something today…wasn’t ever sure what the difference was between a crow and a raven. Great pics…great post! Thanks!
I think the easiest way to spot is its size, the Ravens are bigger than the crows. Both are beautiful birds 🙂 Thank you, Kirt!
Thanks!!
Yes, I’ve seen ravens here in India. They are larger than regular crows. Great clicks as always… 🙂
Thank you so much, Maniparna 🙂
Very cool pics mba,, tapi di bahasa, sama-sama gagak ya (i dont know)… walaupun sebenernya beda hehe..
Btw itu pake lensa berapa mm?
Gagak raksasa? LOL
Ini pakai lensa Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/2.8 🙂
Brati equivalen 300mm, pernah liat ada fotografer di youtube lagi motret burung pake 600mm (full frame) dia sembunyi di semacam bilik kayu gitu terus dikasi rerumputan untuk kamuflase, biar burungnya ga takut… Ini gitu juga ga haha
they look a bitty scruffy! Need a good hair brush! 😀
LOL I agree!!
Nice looking Raven.

While crows are smaller then ravens they are still usually bigger than pigeons.
