We've been seeing Ravens in the Seward Park forest fairly often for the last couple of years. No sign of nesting yet.

There has been a pair in Dash Point State Park for several years. I don't know if anybody ever located a nest, but I see them flying in and out on occasion.

I also was happy and surprised to observe 4 Ravens fly across my neighborhood in N. Ballard from my back deck in September of last year. I recall also having one land on the tree across the street from my front door the year prior, it was quite a spectacle since I was roused by the god awful racket of about 10 Crows losing their minds and diving on the tree. They were very displeased with their larger Corvid relative coming around.

Wasn't aware they had been breeding in the area, but it's definitely interesting to see this expansion around Seattle.

In case someone is tracking/documenting the range expansion of Common Ravens into Seattle. As we know, the first nest was several years ago in Lincoln Park.

Yesterday (6/1) in Westcrest Park I stumbled on an active Common Raven nest. It contained 2 fully feathered nestlings that ought to fledge shortly. No need to post directions - just follow your ears.

Also, it is within 150 feet of an active Cooper's Hawk nest. I would have expected the Coops to not allow a competitor & nest predator to nest that close to their nest.
