the Common Raven remains in NE Knox County as described by Roger Troutman, January 16, a short drive from the most recent sighting report by Tom Bartlett, January 15. Jackie and I saw the raven perched atop a utility pole viewed from Kopple Road, looking up hill toward College Hill Road. This was a reliable spot previously, based on reports last year. Elk are raised on the farm along Kopple Road near where we saw it the first time, today. The raven flew just as we got on it, displaying its strongly wedge-shaped tail and long wings. We refound the raven perched near a couple crows, diminutive in comparison, in the treeline along College Hill Road where it overlooks Kopple Road. Wind exposed the pale gray color of the base of its neck feathers as it pointed its long "Roman nose" away from our position.
