Caption

In late February I was fortunate to find a gathering of Ravens consisting of over 200 birds! The birds wheel and dive, roll, spin and generally show off, many holding twigs and sticks in their beaks while they fly. Their acrobatics took my breath away, and this recording is some of the wing sounds of one those wild flights.
