Little Ravens

This raises a question. Is it unusual to see so many Little Ravens around
lowland areas in December? I observed a flock of over 100 Little Ravens on
Friday afternoon beside the Federal Highway just across the border.

I counted 50 Little Ravens at Mulligans around 10.30am, excited, I think,
by the presence of a Wedge-tailed Eagle soaring overhead.
