Comments: Jay Sheppard's report from the Rocky Gorge Reservoir - T. Howard 
Duckett Dam - 6/21/2011, ~7:00 PM. Jay called last evening to report he was 
watching 3 Common Raven from the corner of the sports field indicating the 
breeding pair was successful again this year. All 3 ravens eventually flew up 
into the nest site on the dam. 

More from Jay: There were aslo dozens of cliff swallows, maybe 30-40+. Import to note that the ravens went to roost about 45 minutes before sunset!  That is early!!  The swallows were still chasing bugs at sunset, etc.  I would suggest anyone interested go to the ball field an hour before sunset...maybe a bit earlier.  At least one of the ravens I saw was a young of the year (yellow gape still in evidence through a scope)....possible all were.

2 species
