--Boundary_(ID_qDP0Yy2Rg+R+jhy/4psSAw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JUNE 14, 2008 - On tonight's (June 14/08) late CBC-TV news (Saturday Report) there was an item featuring WHITE RAVENS in B.C. There is a "family" of 5 fledged young ravens, and 2 of them are apparently twins and not only all white, with flesh-coloured legs and beaks, but BLUE-EYED and thus not fully albino. In addition, at least the white ones are quite approachable for close observations and photographs. The CBC report had excellent video footage at close range. I know that blue eyes are normal in American crows in nestlings and fledglings, and the eye colour gradually changes to brown over a few months? So I guess the same is true for ravens? The location is at Errington, B.C., which is near Parksville and Qualicum, northwest of Nanaimo, on southeastern Vancouver Island. I taped that report via my VCR.
