Common Raven (Corvus corax)

Common Raven (Corvus corax)

Location: Sprague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

When we first spotted this Raven, he was squabbling with another of his species.  We stopped to watch their quarrel, trying to figure out what the problem was.  Perhaps it was a territorial boundary that was in dispute.  This individual eventually chased the other bird into the nearby pine forest, then returned to perch on the top rail of a fence.  He stayed still just long enough for me to take his picture before resuming his patrol of the area.
