Common Ravens at the Celery Farm

"A brief lunchtime walk around the mostly frozen Celery
Farm yielded a pair of Common Ravens.

"Ravens were acting very territorially. I watched
one pursue a Red-tailed Hawk and roughly 15 minutes later watched both
birds harass 3 Black Vultures. A Raven chased one of the vultures in two
large circles over the eastern side of the CF. It appeared it may have
made contact with the vulture on more than one pass.

"It's interesting to note that just a few years ago Raven
and Black Vulture would have caused quite a stir and here I am today, wondering
if this even warrants a post."
