Raven Babies
May 14, 2020 13:27:20 #
Ravens used this nest two years ago and now, another nest-full of babies is being tended. This time, I see four babies, all at different stages, peeking out to be fed. These photos are not good because of distance and more importantly, the tree has begun to leaf out in earnest. Still, these are the only points of interest in our local wildlife area that is quickly on its way to becoming desert. So while the photos aren't great, baby ravens are a treat to see. These ugly ducklings grow up to be such beautiful birds.

Delightful set. Ravens are special to me as I have been told they are my totem and have been given the nickname Rayvn. I love to read the stories and mythology about this bird plus they do help me locate wildlife in the field, especially wolves. Thanks for posting and sharing.

Bonnie, if you haven't yet, you must listen to or read 'Ravenmaster', the true story of the ravens living in London Tower. It is a wonderful audiobook and probably ebook too. Glad you liked my photos.
