I observed my first Common Raven of autumn at home in Hampton, TN, in Carter
Co. this morning (Sunday, Sept. 19).
In addition, while standing near my fish pond, the 20 resident Mallards and
two geese panicked and stormed onto the water. An instant later, a shadow
passed over. I looked up to see an Osprey, large fish in its talons, soaring
past
and a Common Crow shadowing the Osprey.
There are several ponds near my home, so the Osprey apparently caught
breakfast in one of the other ponds, but my ducks and geese are not aware, or
at
least not convinced, that Ospreys are exclusively fish-eaters.
