In some parts of the US, Ravens are pretty ubiquitous. Here in Austin their appearance is a bit more rare, but it seems I see more and more of them every year. Austin is a bird friendly town and in that fashion the Austin UT campus has set up a couple of cool bird cams this spring. The first one was the Peregrine Falcon cam on the University Texas Tower and now there is a Raven cam. A nesting pair of Ravens has set up a nest outside of the Texas Advanced Computing Center on campus and you can watch them raise their chicks online while you’re at work. Pretty cool stuff!
