["Rick Phillips" <philipsr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One again I had a Common Raven in the same area as I have been seeing one or 
two Ravens since December 2002.  Today one raven was stealing chicken carcasses 
from behind a chinese restaurant in a shopping mall next to Super Wal-Mart on 
West Stone Drive.  The raven perched briefly 10 feet away on the edge of a 
trash dumpster and was chased in a westerly direction out across the Super 
Wal-Mart parking lot and into some nearby woods by Common Crows.  There is a 
road (don't remember the name right off hand) running beside and above the 
Super Wal-Mart leading back to Vulcan Materials Rock Quarry.  This is an 
extensive operation which has created many high rocky bluff-faces within the 
complex.  The ravens may be nesting in this area.  

All you ravenologists out there...when could we expect ravens to have chicks to 
feed in this area?
