As previously posted by Paula Lozano I observed a single Raven this morning around 10:00 AM flying west - southwest. It was first observed on the NASA property (near building #60). At first I thought it to be a Bald Eagle but the flight was not right. It turned and started to soar appearing to being trying to catch a thermal. As I was about to enter the building I was working in I did not have binos with me and was thinking by the time I get to the truck to get them it would be long gone, but then it turned east and flew back near the property and wood line . At that point I went to get the binos and my work partner was getting out of his vehicle and I told him to look at the Raven. He asked why isn't it a Bald Eagle? I told him the soaring and wedged tail along with the way the wings flapped were the difference. I handed him the binos and told him to get a look at the tail while I located my field guide. I handed the guide to him and I continued to observe it for 3-4 minutes soaring, occasionally flapping it wings. As it soared west-southwest it was gaining in altitude. Based on the soaring, wedged tail and large size I am confident that this was a Raven.
