A couple of days ago, I received an amusing voicemail message at work  
from my wife.  There had been some raucous noise around our house in  
North Laurel / Savage, and she and my son thought that it might be  
ravens.  So she walked outside, called me, and waited for the noise  
again.  Sure enough, it sounded like ravens.  Unfortunately, by the  
time I returned her call and asked her to go track them down with our  
camcorder, the noise had departed.

I had another interesting siting around here the day after  
Christmas.  We were driving down Gorman Road towards US 1 when I saw  
a large raptor maybe 30 feet overhead - bald eagle!  My wife wisely  
asked me to pull over to the side of the road, and we watched as it  
circled 2 or 3 times before flying off.
