Greetings! know that the amount of Common Ravens in Ohio right now can be counted on one hand...I am going to try and make it a +1. While at work today at East Liberty (I drive cars outside all day) once in the morning, and once just now at 2:00pm, I saw a rather large black bird. The first encounter, I saw what I thought as the silouhete of a hawk in the way that is soared, rose, and dove. I thought it was our resident male Red-tailed Hawk, but as I drove under it, I could see the wedge shaped tail...and actual black feathers. It was soaring with flat wings, not dihedral. The second visit, it landed about 15 feet in front of me as I drove past, and I was able to see its rather large bill and body with feathers not as "black" as our crows. It was alone and was gone by the time I came back around. I could not get pictures due to the area I'm in. However, if someone is over this way, I would check the wood lots to the north of the plant...there are lots of TUVUs here as well...but it wasn't one of those. I do remember reports of one nearby in the last year or so. Keep Calm and BIRD ON! Happy birding, and God bless.
