Nesting Ravens

As of Saturday, spring still hadn't taken hold in the Worcester area so I decided to take a short hike at Asnebumskit Hill in Paxton. The major draw of this area is the nesting Common Ravens. A pair of birds has made one of the towers their home every year for the past two or three summers. When I got to the top of the hill, the nest was clearly visible but the birds were harder to find. I could hear them calling in the woods and even got a quick glance of them flying by.
[So, I didn't get close enough to take the picture above. It was taken at the Grand Canyon last year where the Ravens are have learned to ask for handouts.]

Other than that, the woods were pretty quiet. A pair of Red Tailed Hawks circled above and some Chickdees were calling, but that's about it.
