For me it is always intriguing to watch how the birds raise their chicks so diligently whatever the weather is. I had an opportunity to watch a pair of majestic ravens raising their chicks across the back canyon which I could watch from my upstairs bed room. On march 27th we noticed the ravens going to a cavity on a cliff. Then I tries to watch and also asked our son Hari who has a very special big lens and went down the canyon and took a few pictures. i was able to take the pictures when the parent bird came to the warbler pond to wet the food and take it to the nest taking different paths different times to elude the predator I am told. The photo credit goes to Hari Viswanathan.

Hari sent this picture of the three Muskeeteers I call the three raven Chicks. I thought it is a nice thing to share .The chicks left the nest almost a week ago.
Hari found the empty nest when he went. I hear them near by and some times like distress calls. I wonder parents and Chicks are trying to find each other. May be a bob cat. WE did have a Bob Cat on 30th May at 8.45pm. Looks like the whole process is 2 months approximately.
