Several dedicated raptor watchers observed a RAVEN yesterday afternoon, 19 April at about 3:00pm, from the third platform at the edge of the escarpment in Beamer Conservation area. The raven stayed in the canyon area for about 20 minutes, landing in trees and on the cliff, and taking off several times before heading north.
