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…
Wonderful photographs of the raven. Well done you.,
Thank you so much, Sherry! ❤
Great shots! I think the more you see ravens, the easier it will be for you to tell the difference at a distance.
I agree! Now as the weather is getting warmer, I hope to see more birds coming these days 🙂 Thank you!!
Bonjour Indah, tes photos de cet oiseau sont magnifiques 🙂 Il garde bien sa place sur la branche!
Bisous
Merci, Denise ❤
Great captures Indah. I always find ravens rather scary to look at.
Thank you so much, Sue! Yes, I feel the same way too about the raven, and in Indonesia, some people believe seeing the Ravens and crows around the house meant bad news will arrive soon… 😦
Awesome shots, Indah! 🙂
Thank you so much, Amy!
A regal bird with a bad rap. Some see bad luck or death. I only see beauty. Wonderful captures Indah.
That’s true, it is also the case in Indonesia – people usually were not happy when seeing the birds as that could mean they would get bad news 😦
At first sight, I thought it was a crow, it is nice to learn about their differences. Nice captures as well!
Thank you so much, Angela!
Certainly captured the character of the bird – they look quite intimidating
Thank you, Diana! They do look intimidating, and the superstition of the Ravens and crows in some cultures do not help their image..
