At about 8:15 a.m. on a very frosty Monday morning (Dec. 8) I had a Northern 
Raven fly over the Carter County/Elizabethton Public Library and Elizabethton 
Star office in downtown Elizabethton in Carter Co., TN. 

The raven was being pursued by three American Crows. The raven was far more 
vocal in expressing his displeasure at being harassed by his corvid kin than 
they were at vocalizing their irritation with the raven's intrusion. 

The birds were just over rooftop level as they flew over Sycamore Street, and 
provided a dramatic size comparison between these two species.
