There was a Raven circling over Sycamore Landing Rd., Montgomery 
County, just after 11 a.m. today, November 5.  First heard, then 
seen  The view was partly into the sun but this bird looked very 
black.  Probably not the same bird Dave photographed.

Ravens have slowly been getting more regular in Montgomery County 
(and DC) the last couple of years.
