Ravens at Wastewater

.
This morning while looking for shorebirds at Wastewater I disturbed a Common Raven from the east edge of the East Lagoon and watched him fly south of Apple Ave.  I drove down there to re-find him and found three!  (Picture shows 3 Ravens and 2 higher-flying Turkey Vultures.)


Shorebirds were sparse: 8 Least Sandpiper, 13 Spotted Sandpiper (2 juv, 3 adult, 8 un-aged), 2 Lesser Yellowlegs and 6 Killdeer (plus 2 chicks).

Great find Ric! Please eBird this (and all your other, for that matter) data, as this is an important observation.

Thanks for the reminder, Silly Putty (aka Caleb). I've just reported the ravens to eBird.
