I received word this afternoon that a pair of ravens was seen in HowardHughesland inspecting the site where, until a recent visit by window cleaners, a raven nest had been located. Perhaps they’ll try again their (if it is last season’s couple). The nest on the side of the former Furama hotel is still intact, but there is a lot of construction activity going on there, so it may not be as attractive, or may have belonged to a different couple.
This morning near Iron Moutain (see previous post) a raven sat atop a streetlight for several minutes making the croaking call. Yesterday I noted a raven on Orange, also near Iron Mountain - but that area is an easy one in which to find ravens, especially in the morning hours. If there is a pair that owns the area, it is not clear where they might be roosting when not breeding. If I had a slightly higher observation post, and some very strong binoculars, I might be able to investigate more thoroughly.
