This page is for the Common Raven (Thryothorus ludovicianus). My first photographic evidence of a Common Raven occurred on June 8, 2010 as we were hiking at Mt. Rainier. This photograph is also the best image I have of a Common Raven. I have always liked this photograph of the Raven looking over its shoulder. It is just a very cool looking bird to me.
