Quoth the Raven
Hopi Point, Grand Canyon, AZ
Of the many who showed up for the sunset, none was louder than this raven, perhaps seeking attention (or simply peeved by) the tourists. Note, to the top right of the bird, our first view of the Colorado within the park, where exposed rocks are said to be as old as 1.85 billion years—roughly 40% the age of Earth itself.
