Description
I saw this family of 4 Chihuahuan Ravens sitting up high on a pole and off in the field a 5th raven was hunting. I think the one on the right side is a parent and the other parent was hunting food. I watched them a long time until the parent took off followed shortly by the 3 youngsters.
A small relative of the more wide spread Common Raven, the Chihuahuan Raven occurs in the arid grasslands and desert areas of the southwest. Its huge stick nest is usually conspicuously placed on a telephone pole or lone tree. It breeds mid summer at the start of the rains, and during the winter forms huge flocks.
