Summary[edit]

Description

I came across this charming pair of Thick-billed Ravens (Corvus crassirostris) on the grounds of the Simien Lodge in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia.

According to Wikipedia, the Thick-billed Raven is the largest member of its family, the Corvids, which includes crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs and nutcrackers.

In fact, the Thick-billed Raven is the largest member of the order that includes all perching birds.

Wikipedia says this bird's range "covers Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia; its habitat includes mountains and high plateau between elevations of 1500 to 2400 metres." This pair must not have read Wikipedia, because the site where I photographed them was at 3,260 meters above sea level.
