At around 730 am this morning, a flight of whoop-calling ravens flew SW to NE across land just S of us on Hile School Rd. First two birds, flying together, followed closely by a calling third, and then shortly after that, a strongly calling group of 3. All kept heading across Ed Hill Rd toward 13, and disappeared. But then around 830, I heard ravens faintly again, S over toward Irish Settlement Rd.
Could this have been a family outing? Or would raven fledglings be flying that strongly yet? Four would be a large brood to fledge, but it seems to be a good year for young Corvus rearing.
