Regarding rarity of ravens in Seattle, I think this was the first one I've
ever seen in the city limits; it was rare enough to disturb my tennis game!
Although this bird wasn't being chased by crows, it had an apprehensive look
to it, not seeming to be comfortable in the open. Last week I was in
Issaquah and I saw two ravens being harried by crows.
I've lived here nearly 30 years. As I recall I think last year Colin Thoreen
may have reported one in NE Seattle, near the Audubon office, and he thought
it may have been building a nest. Katie Sauter may have reported one last
year also, on Beacon Hill.
