I just heard a Raven gronking as it flew by. I've noticed that occasionally someone will post a sighting and it has me wondering. Just how common ARE they?
We see or hear them every day, and think that there is a nest within a mile or so to our east. Most of the time we see them they are traversing an east/west corridor, seemingly using our road as a flight lane. The young must have fledged as we are now seeing a group of three. We've always sort of assumed because we see them every day, that they are becoming more common, but maybe not? How often do people see or hear them?
