I was skiing across the lake this past Saturday from the Dillon Marina
heading for the Peninsula and witnessed about 6 or 7 Ravens on the
peninsula wildly and raucously flying around exhibiting the described
behavior, which gave me pause.
I stood and watched trying to get a reason for it,

I agree with Tony that Ravens are difficult to id and that social
behavior is not really a good character to assess them. I have seen

floaters - juvenile and non-breeding adult groups) and these are quite
common, especially where
