Thank you for the beautiful armchair road trip. So fun. Maybe someday I'll get brave enough to venture out on my own raven hunt. For now I will continue to try to engage the neighborhood guys.
thank you for sharing and reposting rick! i meant to watch this earlier and am glad to finally see it. i love this a ton... Awesome video buddy, thanks again. i still look forward to visiting you someday. may the wind stay with you, Cy@!!!🌬💙💚
Loved your video! I loved that raven that followed your car. Was he alone and lonely? So he enjoyed your company? Beautiful scenery with the snow. We have lots of ravens and/or crows where I live and hike with my dogs. I still have trouble identifying which are crows or ravens.
Oh my eyes have seen this video ... I'm so grateful, thank you, for the raven who stuck around with you a while...and you noticed and filmed and shared lunch and everything! Thank you. Praise a God by Whom all blessings flow, praise Him all ye creatures here below.... love to you and yours from me and the raven on my street corner.
I strongly disagree for numerous reasons. I call the whole dinosaur to bird crap scientific sensationalism. Here's just one reason why; th-cam.com/video/1l6puKbzU8M/w-d-xo.html
"I live in a rural part of the Texas low rolling plains and I'm trying to befriend my local ravens. So far they are indifferent but I will win them over!"
David Senn they also love oatmeal ! I just got back from my remote cabin and my ravens were waiting. Usually they move closer to Kenora for the winter but the weather has been mild so they stayed in their territory. But ya oatmeal and mice are their favourites they can’t get enough, nesting will soon begin also. Take care
THAT WAS THE BEST RD TRIP EVER! I LK TO LOOK BUT I'M NOT THE TRAVELING TYPE, I ENJOYED IT ALL EVERY MUCH, ESPECIALLY THE RAVEN FOLLOWING U WAS SO COOL IT WAS LK FOLLOW ME TO THE BEST STOP TO EAT UR LUNCH...LOL I THOUGHT IS THAT A NORMAL THING, RAVEN FLYING LONG SIDE CARS OR IS THAT GOD JUST BLESSING U FOR UR LOVE OF THE RAVEN.....SWEET! THANK U ::)
I use four, my current go to is a canon HFG30 (but I will be upgrading this soon cause it's 1080), an Osmo Pocket, a DJI Phantom 3 Pro, and the newest Mavic Mini, also DJI.
I may have missed it, but I can't find in the video or caption an explanation as to why that particular raven was intently following you in your car -- on vacation, no less! Do you travel this road frequently? Does this raven recognize you? Very interested to know more about this.
Yeah Teresa, I'd like to know also! I went back to this park specifically cause in 2016 one of the wild birds in the park, on Christmas Day ... came and sat on my leg! It was the most unafraid, wild ADULT bird I had ever encountered (young pink mouthed ravens maybe, but a black mouthed adult, this was very strange.) I was curious if it would happen again. So I went back to the same area, and didn't see any ravens in that particular area. But then as we were leaving this ... Here's what I can tell you; it's winter time, it's also about noon, so lunch time, and we were almost the only ones in the park that day. When I first noticed it following I slowed down a bit, rolled down my window and spoke to it, and then it kept following. It was strange cause it kept sort of "cutting me off", in fact I turned the sound way down cause my wife kept warning me to watch out. Which I was of course doing but it was getting quite close. So it almost seemed like it wanted us to stop. Maybe this raven has had luck in getting people to stop and feed it? But notice, it follows or leads us, us all the way to a picnic area, and that's interesting cause we had already decided that is where we were headed to have lunch. So, being lunch time perhaps this raven knows that some people will in fact stop and eat there? So perhaps he's a professional beggar? Whatever it was it was an amazing display, and adventure, and a first for me in this kind of behavior to this degree! And although I have had numerous experiences with "professional beggars" before, this one seemed to go to greater lengths. Again perhaps because it's winter and food sources are scarce? Thanks for the question Teresa! It really lifts my spirits to see there are some very special people like yourself, that take the time to notice the uniqueness of these one of a kind situations, and ask about them. Your the ones I love to do these videos for!
Ahh, thought about it but haven't as of yet! I don't really want to monetize my channel. I started when it was free and education and telling a good story was what it was all about ... suhheeezz I'm old ... !
No actually I'm going to be posting some of those soon. The background is a dead giveaway and I haven't figured out how to green screen a flying raven yet !
Perhaps, but, knowing these birds the way I do I might venture to guess this bird has succeeded in another well known "raven" game? Notice how he gets pretty close sometimes, as if he's learned he can get people to slow down and stop? Also notice he lands right close to the road. It wouldn't surprise me to learn people think it's cute, slow down then stop, roll down the widow and throw food to it? I'd almost put money on it ... !
Here is a possible explanation for fossilized bird tracks in a zone where they should not appear. Hope the link works! drive.google.com/file/d/1-FpXWx-E6bPKmpe0yEmVMixUZWlpGp-3/view?usp=drivesdk
Hello Dave, it says I need permission, I tend not to go further cause I don't know what site it is or why they need permission. If it's a specific article or paper, you can post the name and I can usually find it that way! Thanks!
@@theravendiaries I understand. It was a Google drive folder supposed to be available to anyone with the link, looks like I missed something. When I get time I'll locate it online and post the link, then you can see if it's of interest.
That raven flying along with you is MAGICAL! ❤ It likes you and wants to accompany you. ❤What an experience! ❤
Wow at the Raven flying with you! That was awesome
Thank you for the beautiful armchair road trip. So fun. Maybe someday I'll get brave enough to venture out on my own raven hunt. For now I will continue to try to engage the neighborhood guys.

the fly by @ 21:00 was majestic for sure. absolutely wonderful and absolutely beautiful. happy soaring 🌛🌞🌜
@@jensen9793 Thank you look forward to seeing when you visit!
Thank you for a beautiful journey. Miss Cali so much.
Your welcome, where are we now?

remember, birds are a surviving class of dinosaurs

@@theravendiaries ha ha why am i not surprised. However, I love ravens and your videos are wonderful.
Thank you for sharing!!! You are so lucky!!!
I swear that raven was really having fun escorting your car
He/she loved that you were driving at raven cruising speed
👏👏👏👏👏Another well done work, thank you for sharing with us♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🕊️
"I live in a rural part of the Texas low rolling plains and I'm trying to befriend my local ravens. So far they are indifferent but I will win them over!"
It just takes time and patience. Ravens are both extremely curious, but equally cautious. Let us know how it goes!
I've had luck with trapping mice in my woodshed and leaving them out for the ravens, its worked with two different families now for me
@@Whiteshell204 Thank you for the suggestion, it's a good one!
David Senn they also love oatmeal ! I just got back from my remote cabin and my ravens were waiting.

@@theravendiariesPlease explain the raven following your car? Did it know you?
Why does watching this make me cry🤔🤧
Sooo much beauty!! TY

*What type of camera are you using Rick ? Great stuff!*

Thanks so much.
You rock!!!
21:19 It Knows and can sense youre doing a road trip documentary about them
Thank you for reposting!
Do you have merch?
Hmmm, merch? as in merchandising or isn't it also used to ask for evidence to back something up?
wow. thank-you.
Ravens hoodoo diving ❤❤❤❤
If they have minimal circulation in their feet and tuck them into their feathers when needed. ???

@@theravendiaries wow
"Stop for lunch & feed me" is amazing prodigious intelligence
Yes I will bow down
21:19 That Is The Best
21:19 Is a Amazing

Are you sure those aren't your own Raven buddies from back home following you? xD
No actually I'm going to be posting some of those soon. The background is a dead giveaway and I haven't figured out how to green screen a flying raven yet !
@@theravendiaries haha I meant maybe they followed you way further than you expected ;)
It sort of looked like the raven was using your car as a mobile Thermal.
Perhaps, but, knowing these birds the way I do I might venture to guess this bird has succeeded in another well known "raven" game? Notice how he gets pretty close sometimes, as if he's learned he can get people to slow down and stop? Also notice he lands right close to the road.
