This talk of Ravens is very interesting - After the last snowstorm I went out to shovel snow (here in Bayville) and heard a very unusual crow (diff from any other crow I've heard 'round here). I did think to myself - that it was really odd & sort of raven-y. I wasn't able to really persue it - 10" of snow...shoveling... stuff like that, but now you have me thinking...
Now I'll have to pay more attention.
