I have occasionally seen ravens in NW Austin. I even had one fly over the Hwys
183/360 intersection earlier in the year. I have had them fairly regularly
this year along the east side of Lake Travis (Cypress Creek Park, Volente).
And, taking a little broader view, I have also seen them fairly regularly over
the years along Hwy183 between Leander and Lampasas (Williamson and Burnet
cos.).

Hi all,
I've been dropping by some in the vicinity of Red Bud Isle in hopes of adding
to my patch ravens known to have nested in that area without actually seeing
them. However, the information from enough sources about their presence there
is sufficient that I am convinced a pair is resident nearby. As I noted
earlier, today I observed what may be a pair near the intersection of
Bluffstone Drive/Spicewood Springs Road and Loop 360. Someone else very
recently is reporting a raven in SW Austin. There are usually ravens on the CBC
in Austin, and I had one in my area on the east side 2 years ago. I'm wondering
if perhaps we're getting a small population of them established in the area.
