Interactions Between Ravens and with Deer - UPDATE November 27, 2022

The day started with a pair of ravens doing some of the things that probably help them stay mated for life. The larger male was grooming his mate who has her head bowed. Then a deer came near and watched them a bit but the ravens were not disturbed. The male kept grooming her. The deer turned away. The ravens stayed in place and continued grooming staying in the same place as before but now with the female doing the grooming as the male bowed his head.Fisher from 2013Fisher from 2013

Also, there was a misidentification on the mink sighting. I got the videos, and it is a male fisher, an animal I haven’t seen around here even longer than since I’ve seen a mink. This morning, the fisher walked across the yard for a picture, but by the time I got a card in my camera it was gone. It just happened to walk within a few feet of where I took the fisher picture that is shown here nine years ago.

Thank you for all you do,
