Folks

I told you that if you were in my driveway at 7 AM you might see the Common 
Raven.  Well you should have been.  This time I got some crummy images but 
adequate for the records committee.  About 7:05 AM Gwen turned off her 
drying and yelled "He's here!".

I ran with camera in hand and heard and saw the animal waiting for 
breakfast, calling all the time.  An American Crow came in and buzzed him, I 
started shooting with the camera, the Raven sat briefly, then started to 
fly.  I caught the head and bill shape while setting, then got several poor 
quality flight images.

When he comes back I hope to get more and better images.  Now I don't have 
to write a description.  Yippee!

Phil - I will send images later.

Very exciting.
