Hi tweeters,
Regarding the Raven thread, I remember seeing them go over Cape
Flattery in spring, headed north along with the hawks. They usually came
over in ones and twos, occasionally small groups. Often they would
vocalize as they flew over. Their flight seemed purposeful, headed north
over 13 miles of water with no stops along the way. My impression was
that this was a migratory movement.
