At the Goetchius Preserve yesterday afternoon John Confer and I watched a pair of (presumably courting) Common Ravens as they flew overhead, swooping, diving, and rolling around together in midair. Thrilling and hope-inspiring!
And at the "Very Leaning Barn" on Rt 79, the barn itself has been propped up by an assortment of new buttresses much to the relief of the pair of Turkey Vultures perching on top of the roof. How long will their traditional roost (and nest site?) remain standing?! I can't recall whether it's known whether or not they actually nest in it.
