On Friday night I moved a road killed deer away from the highway and to =
position that would safer for scavengers visiting the carcass. It has =
been visited by Crows, Gulls and at least 2 Eagles. Today I saw a Common =
Raven carrying away huge mouthfuls only to return minutes later for =
another load. It seems a bit early to be carrying such amounts for newly =
hatched young so I suspect it may have been carrying food to a mate =
incubating eggs somewhere nearby . I watched long enough to get a rough =
idea of where it was headed and now have several acres of woodland to =
scour in hopes of finding a nest.
