Interesting observation of the morning was three ravens in aerial battle. Either driving off offspring or an intruder, not sure which. The odd wheel didn't want to leave. The local pair chased the third all around the Knoll, giving voice to sounds I have not heard from ravens before. Some chases came so close to me I could hear the clicking of beaks as they pulled at the intruder's feathers. Most interesting of all, this occurred in very low light conditions. Steve H.
