Raven Webcam

As the southerly movement of ravens continues, birders may be interested to know that a breeding pair is now being documented by webcam from Wellesley College.  The birds were first spotted around campus last fall by Lauren Johnson, Sheryl's daughter.   After seeing them carrying sticks to the Science Center this spring, she alerted Prof Nick Rodenhouse who arranged for a webcam.  Because of their location, the camera is even able to show their nighttime habits.  The female is currently incubating two eggs.  Check in from time to time as the season progresses.  An announcement from Wellesley College is available at  http://www.wellesley.edu/news/2014/4/node/43176   and the webcam site is http://www.wellesley.edu/ravencam
