Observation of the Day

The observation of today is the Common Raven (Corvus corax) . Common Ravens are the largest songbirds of North America, and are in the Corvid family (crows, ravens, magpies). Ravens are intelligent creatures, and have often taken the role of a trickster in Indigenous storytelling from around the world.

The Willow Bend Nature Challenge is a fun June virtual challenge through iNaturalist, a free observation platform that can be used on your smart phone or computer. It acts as a place for people to record observations, learn how to identify organisms and interact with other enthusiasts and experts. Observations from iNaturalist also contribute to biodiversity science. Anyone can freely access and use this information.
