With Jays I find that cashing of food is most prevalent in the late =
summer and fall but they certainly do it at other times. With Ravens it =
would make sense at this time of the year but only if the needs of the =
nest have been first met. (Which could be the case with an entire deer =
carcass nearby) The males are foraging for two or more so I'm still =
hoping there may be a nest in the area. It's close enough to home that I =
can stop by in the evenings and the first place I will check is an old =
nest that's never been occupied on previous visits.

Ravens store and hide food like squirrels, bluejays etc.



I used to have free ranging chickens, the ravens would come and carry =
the eggs away. Also watched them burying them for food at a later date.=20



Very intertaining.
