Raven or Crow?

Headed down LDR-A as usual
We got some heavy rain early evening yesterday and then storms overnight; the result this morning was a very wet desert and intensely humid atmosphere.  We did our regular route seeing along the way four large corvids, which, I'm informed from the iNaturalist website, are Common Ravens.  They were harvesting food from Soaptree Yuccas.  It seemed as if they were having a small spat with each other, squawking and making a lot of noise.  I loved seeing them.  The sun made an appearance toward the end of our hike heating things up to an unpleasant level.
iNaturalist says this and the next 4 are Common Ravens
