Ravens (Corvus corax) are becoming more common in Pittsburgh. I now see them about once a week but never a flock. Just one or two ravens at a time.
If Pittsburgh had a lot more raven pairs or even flocks of “teenage” ravens, we’d get to see them playing in the sky. Photographer Kristie Clarke-Rozsa captured a raven game in Chilliwack, BC, Canada, described below.
Two ravens tumbling down to the ground playing pass the stick, whoever lasts the longest before chickening out wins!
