Common Raven perched in the large oak tree outside my home office. The Raven cronked, gurgled, preened and observed me.
Observation details
A loud, guttural "crrronk" almost made me spill my coffee at my desk this morning. Startled by the morning stillness broken, I glanced quickly out my home office window to find a Common Raven sitting lonely in the large oak tree about 50 feet away. Intrigued by the Raven's beguiling glance, I went outside and watched the Raven for about 5 minutes. The Raven cronked, gurgled, scanned the sky, preened and observed me. The tranquil Friday morning was disrupted by a swarm of crows, evidently upset by the Raven's presence. The Raven launched from the branch and flew off, most likely to find a quieter place or to look for some roadkill on the nearby interstate.
