Still Waters Posted January 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ravens in the US are building their nests on electricity power lines and using the height to target their prey, according to new research. The scientists say the majority of ravens in the study area were now living on transmission poles and posed a bigger threat to endangered species. Raven numbers in western states have increased by more than 300% in the past 40 years, say the researchers. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-25656289 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
