Drove from Sydney to Canberra on Friday, for the first time in about 25
years, and I think I have discovered the raven capital of the world.
Passing the flat grazing land which was once the water-covered floor of Lake
George, adjacent to the highway, we saw what must have been 300+ ravens,
some in great flocks, others in just small groups.
Returning this afternoon (3:30 pm Saturday) there were fewer (perhaps 100)
moving to and fro between the paddocks and the wooded hills on the opposite
side of the highway.
I am not a raven identification expert (particularly during driving) but I
suspect these were Little Ravens.  Is this correct?
