I got a common raven just below and east of the MSUM Science Center on the east edge of Buffalo River State Park in Clay County at about 10:30 this morning. I first heard its croaking calls and then about 30 seconds later I saw it come in low from the northeast. It circled over a couple of times and then disappeared off to the east. I continued to hear it call for a couple of minutes after it disappeared from view. I got good looks at it - a large black crow-like bird with a long wedge shaped tail, large bill, making its distinctive croaking calls.
This is only my second raven for Clay County and my first since the early 90's. Mark Otnes Fargo ND 701-241-4194 [email protected] ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
