Raven caused a ruckus at neighbor's party [View all]

I was sitting on the back deck yesterday afternoon when a hue and cry came from one of the neighboring back yards. Some neighbors had been partying for hours, but this wasn't the sound of ordinary frivolity. Milliseconds later a large bird landed in the crown of another neighbor's Norway spruce. At first, I thought it was a vulture. I pointed my lens at the crown and waited for the bird to emerge. When the raven finally flew, biscuit in beak, I knew what all the ruckus was about. That's one brazen raven!
