Blountville Sullivan Co. TN 3 March 2013 Observed a Common Raven flying across the highway about 5:30 p.m. today and it headed directly to a sizeable nest in a hardwood tree on the face of a nearby ridge. It perched about 10 feet from the nest and faced it. After about two minutes, it flew towards the nest but did not alight. It made a half circle glide around the nest and then flew back across the road and out of sight. Using binoculars, it appeared the nest is new and no bird of any kind could be seen on the nest. Plan to follow this up carefully to see what we have there. Wallace Coffey Bristol, TN
