[Paul Peterson]

I hadn't even begun birding today (my bins were still in my bag) when i saw dark, huge birds. I quickly got my bins out to see that they were EIGHT RAVENS. They stayed on the tall antenna and nearby roof of the N.E. Baptist Hospital for a while. Clearly birds were on the move last night
