I need my good binoculars & spotting scope - not here yet, so it's hard to make out the shore birds, gulls & terns. The ravens are wonderful - they're everywhere and the sounds they make are many! I hear them gurgling, chatting and imitating everything they hear. They are so funny! So many times I hear a new bird sound and look to see what it is and once again it's a raven!
