At Petrified Forest National Park in AZ the ravens work in teams and each team has an assigned parking area they work for hand outs. I think they have scout birds that monitor the flow of traffic from parking area to parking area. They are not shy at all at that park.

Great!! I love the poem by E.P. "the Raven"
That's a wonderful portrait of an illusive bird.
I love the image and the reference to the lovely Lenore! My only suggestion would be to possibly crop it a bit to get the bird out of the center of the image. That's just MHO, of course...
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!
Nice capture. A young bird too. He/She has to survive on its own now.

Looks like he might be ready for a sleep! Handsome bird.
