A bunch of hoodlums! (i.e. ravens)

I now look forward to seeing (and hearing) the raven family of 5 that lives up at the horse ranch.  There are 3 young ravens and 2 VERY attentive parents.  Their nest is a mess of sticks up in one of the oak trees up there right next to the driveway.  Now the youngsters are taking longer and longer flights, often to their parents' dismay!  I always count noses and make sure they are all around (they were yesterday!) because hawks also frequent the ranch.

Three of the hoodlums on one of their telephone poles.
 Coming in for a landing!
 Keeping an eye out for pesky hawks.

  1. We have a lot of crows and ravens around here. They are so smart and such characters. They also make a mess! Nice photos...
