[Tweeters] Urban Common Ravens

[THOMAS BENEDICT]

Our Raven is cawing from a tree over our yard right now. I still haven't seen more than one at any given time though, so there may not be a pair, even though we've seen it/them here for 3+ years.

I recall also having one land on the tree across the street from my front door the year prior, it was quite a spectacle since I was roused by the god awful racket of about 10 Crows losing their minds and diving on the tree. They were very displeased with their larger Corvid relative coming around.
