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…
I saw a few of them on our trip to Grand Canyon…such a common sight that are!
Indeed, I think they are residents of the Grand Canyon! How lucky! 🙂
There appears to be a different facial expression with each image. NEAT!
Thank you so much! They have a various facial expression – pretty birds!
Hi Indah. Wonderful pictures. If you have any doubts you can always determine the bird by its deep hoarse cry, if it sings of course 🙂
Thank you so much for the tips, Hanna! That’s a great idea to distinguish the birds 🙂
Ini burung gagak kan ya?
satu keluarga pastinya. Gak tahu juga raven itu dalam bahasa Indonesia apaan 😀 Ini ukurannya lebih gede dari burung gagak di Indonesia.
Another difference is their call: crows have a kind of caw caw; ravens have a more beautiful sound
Great shots.
(Nevermore said the crow)
Thank you so much!!
One of the most intelligent birds as well. Nice shots!
I agree! Birds are smart ones – I have lots respect to them 🙂
Amazing shots. The bird looks very serious in the last photo 😂
Thank you so much, Mabel! LOL, looks like he knows he will be in the picture 😉
