Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

Thanks to several birders reporting this species during the week. There were 2 birds, fighting the cold weather and 50 Km/hr winds at Ile Saint Bernard, Quebec today.

Only a few Ravens have been uploaded. I find this species to be fascinating to watch. We were lucky to have a family of up to 6 this year at the airport. The most recent action was last week when a Peregrine Falcon and 2 Ravens entered into an aerial display for a couple of hours over the airport field. This one is seen a few seconds before sundown at Dorval, Quebec.
