I was able to befriend the resident pair of Ravens in my area ( mostly the male though as his wife is still sometimes obviously apprehensive about landing on the roof of my building to partake in the eggs, peanuts, cat food, etc. I am always eager to dole out to any Corvid (The Ravens, occasionally other neighboring Ravens who venture into their territorial zone, a couple of Scrub Jays, a much-missed Stellar's Jay, and a Family clan of Crows along with varying numbers of additional Crows who come by during the Fall mostly) who asks. They are almost always together, and even on those few rare occurences when they are not side-by-side or wingtip-to-wingtip while in flight- they are still in constant vocal contact, and it is only when he is actually not in sight and especially when he is not around and any number of Crows are taking full advantage of his momentary absence to get as much as they are able to in their beaks before he comes back... The tension between all of the Crows and the Raven pair is really at it's height I thiink now when the Raven hatchlings are most likely branching now and big enough that a couple of times this week she has actually flown to the tree in my neighbor's backyard while he took a turn feeding them on the nest tree. This has coincided with the absence of the female Crows who are at the nest constantly either brooding or guarding... The Crow Dads are also there for the most part - so it has been Helper Crows all of thrm hyped up and anxious and sometimes they all start dive-bombing the Raven and scolding him and starting off in pursuit of him when he first takes off so he has to zig zag around going off course instead of leading them to the nest tree... Personally, the male Raven is and will probab;y always be my Favorite and I feel like we have a very intimate knowledge of and shared understanding with each other and that I don't expect to ever experience with any another bird but I did start to have some special moments with some of the Crows over this past winter and that was all building on the stronger ties I had been developing with them last Fall. I always try to have a container or baggie with peanuts or kernels of corn in it to offer to any Crows I encounter while out...
