@Desiree In my limited experience (although with many years of canyon hiking behind me), I've often seen ravens soaring along or above the canyon walls. In springtime, we frequently see them as pairs. They like to nest in sheltered alcoves or openings on the cliff faces. They'll often perch on a dead snag or rock ledge where they command a good view.

I am confident in my ability to distinguish between crows (or ravens) and non-crows/ravens. My ability to discriminate crows from ravens when perched or on the ground is also fairly solid, less so in flight which is how we often see them here in canyon country (southeast Utah). Habitat, habits and calls are helpful but unless seen flying solo or in pairs along canyon walls (ravens) or as a "murder" (crows) I frequently find it difficult to decide what I'm looking at. Although we are shown as being on the edge of their range, American crows are often seen here in large numbers.
