A quick point of clarification re: yesterday's post under the title "Ballantrae Common Raven" - Ballantrae, I failed to mention, is the closest town to the two locations described in the report (lest anyone misconstrue the "Ballantrae" tag as some obscure subspecies of raven). Common Ravens appear to be expanding their range and this sighting, though unusual in York region, is by no means the first; ravens were reported north of this location last spring and summer as well as in this Ballantrae area on at least one other occasion last year.
