A pair of ravens have built a nest on the Life Science building. These birds belong to the speciesCorvus corax, and are known as common ravens or Western ravens. They are large intelligent birds closely related to crows. Ravens are omnivorous and will eat just about anything, from fruit to small mammals. They mate for life, and the females lay 3-7 eggs every spring. Watch as the babies grow up throughout the spring and summer.
