So how many ravens are there in this area? Gary Kohlenberg also wrote he sees ravens regularly. I have been seeing them mostly near Honness and East Hill area, though we saw one on the junction of Pine Tree and 79 this Friday morning from the bus. Any ideas how large would their territory be? also do they split brood? I have been seeing only one adult two young. Of course I can find out from the internet, just being lazy. I heard them today in morning too.

I live just up from the upper trail going into Six Mile Creek, on Giles St. Sometimes a raven will fly out from the woods, over Giles St, and over the neighboring yards. Generally what happens is that I'll see and hear the raven, then it will disappear behind the trees. A minute later, I'll see the raven being escorted back to the woods by a couple of crows ;). This morning the raven seemed to escape the attention of the crows, even though it was making a fair bit of noise. I don't remember seeing ravens from my yard before this year, so it is a nice treat. -Liisa Liisa Mobley Sent from my iPhone >> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Subject: Ravens continue > From: Meena Madhav Haribal <m...@cornell.edu> > Date: Sat, 8 Jun 2013 21:39:41 +0000 > X-Message-Number: 6 > > Ravens seem to continue in the yard and neighboring area.
