Geocache Description:

A Quick Park and Grab series. Please be sure to pull completely off the highway on the obvious parking available nearest the cache. Cache contains Log Book and Small Swag, though you will need to bring your own writing utensil.


This largest of passerine birds can be found all year in the mountains, foothills and boreal regions of Alberta. In the last few decades they are becoming increasingly common in the parkland region, especially in winter. Common Ravens are typically denizens of the forests, but are becoming more common in urban areas, especially around landfills in winter. Also look for them in the parking lots of suburban malls at the edges of cities where edible litter might be found. Like many omnivores, ravens are opportunistic feeders taking seeds, fruit, eggs, nestlings of other birds and any insects or small animals that they are skillful enough to catch. Congregations of ravens are often seen scavenging roadkills. Bulky nests are usually constructed on cliff edges, but occasionally in trees or on buildings as well. These sturdy constructions are made of branches and twigs, supplemented with earth and lined with moss, bark shreds and other soft materials. Three to five or more eggs may be laid and are incubated by the female for 18 or 19 days. The young are fledged about six weeks after hatching.
