We saw ravens again today. I heard a commotion of angry birds and the occasional "gronk" and found some grackles, blue jays, and others pestering a raven. Another raven soon joined it, and most of the smaller birds went away (except for one persistent blue jay). They're magnificently large birds, and make the most surprising array of sounds. On the menu today was "TOOK-tittuk" as played on a xylophone, along with various "tok"s and the usual guttural sounds.

I've heard something about them expanding into cities, and I would be quite pleased to see them here more often.

I also saw a catbird swallow, with difficulty, a mulberry about half the size of its head.
