You may wonder why anyone would post a raven sighting. In our area they are quite rare; in fact they are not listed on the Stratford Bird Checklist. This morning I found 2 Common Ravens, presumably a pair in Ellice Swamp north of Stratford. They were tumbling in the air and very vocal. . Steve Thorpe .Stratford. . To reach Ellice Swamp drive north from Stratford on Road 119; turn west on line 46 and drive for about 3 km to the North/South trail. BIRDERS/HIKERS ARE ONLY ALLOWED IN ELLICE CA ON WEDNESDAYS AND SUNDAYS. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
