Tree Mercer shared her raven story with me by email.

"We have a mated pair of ravens that have been visiting us everyday as we sit on the cliff at the Lighthouse searching for whales. This has occurred for the past eight years and we have seen them build their nest, raise their young, and do all sorts of amazing things! They actually recognize our van as we drive down Lighthouse Road and

they escort us to our parking spot! Their intelligence and loyalty just blow me away.

We have very affectionately named them Barry and Michelle." Tree Mercer

Marion Patterson of Anchor Bay shared this amazing raven story with me.

"My friend in Yosemite heard a screaming and banging on pans at a neighbor’s cabin. She investigated and found the mean old Mrs. XXX was trying to scare off a raven. She said the ravens were stealing nails from her roof. The offending raven took off and soon returned, swooped down, and dropped a very live snake right on Mrs XX’head. Bulls eye! Moral: never mess with a raven."
