We scoped 'em in the trees! We scoped 'em on the ground! And we even scoped
'em on the gravestones. Cute little things with white on the wings and real
funny looking beaks. Laura took me over to the cemetery on Bachman Valley
where Bob and Bill got some yesterday. We got real nice looks. Much better
than the ones we had about a dozen years ago when the last eruption
occurred.

Joining the discussion about the cones they prefer- these are regular ol'
Norway Spruce. I don't really think that it matters a whole lot. I think the
main attraction for them is the gravestones. They seem to love them. Must be
something about dead people that these birds really like. How many
cemeteries have they been found in so far? Poe would love it. Maybe he
should have wrote about them instead of Ravens.
