Are there any football fans out there who happened to see NFL Prime Time on
ESPN this evening?
I wasn't paying much attention, heard the announcer say something like "that
doesn't look like a
raven," and looked up just in time to have a fraction-of-a-second look at a
bird on a wire. It was
a head-on shot of a perched, generally light-colored bird that gave me the
impression of a small
raptor, but the look was so brief that it really might have been almost
anything. It was apparently
in the stadium at the Ravens' game in Baltimore. Did anyone else see this,
and see enough of it
to theorize an ID?
