Ravens seem to continue in the yard and neighboring area.  A neighboring 
squirrel died in a car accident and the ravens are waiting for the meal. 
Because the squirrel was in the middle of the road, I moved it into my 
neighbors yard, (no one lives there it is some cult group property).  I waited 
for ravens to return to take some video. But they saw me and refused to be 
there anywhere near. I hid behind trees, when American Crows discovered the 
squirrel. I did not want the squirrel to be their dinner (sorry Anne) so moved 
out of the tree Am. Crows vanished. Before they did so I got a nice recording 
of American Crows squabbling as there were no cars for a few seconds. Almost 
around that time the raven family circled and one parent flew right over my 
head belching out a loud craww that I could record and luckily no cars at that 
time.

Right now the ravens flew over to Strawberry circle and that is somewhere they 
seem have nested in Northeast direction.

It was great to watch them!



Cheers

Hi all,

I was working in the kitchen when I heard some strange hissing or heavy 
breathing like calls. So I thought may be wood-chuck was making this call as 
she and her babies were feeding on clover in the backyard. Then the calls got 
loud and seem to be coming from the front yard. So I opened the door to see a 
young raven was begging from the maple in front of the house. Seeing me he flew 
away. But then I heard the second one which was also in the yard on another 
tree and was also begging.  May be a parent was nearby. I saw one adult flying 
across yesterday evening.  So it looks like East Hill ravens have successfully 
bred or at least have fledglings!



Cheers

Meena
