Description

The courting display of the Common raven (Corvus corax) consists of wild acrobatics, daring flight behavior, and courageous free falls along sheer cliffs to impress their potential mate. Take a "Minute Out In It" to witness a particularly impressive gathering of ravens, called an "unkindness," near Pima Point, where the morning sun allowed these intelligent birds to play with their shadows along the vertical face.
