[obol] Eugene - Urban Birds

[Alan Contreras]

I observed a raven flying over s Eugene (over 29th street near Willamette)on Sunday Mar 16. Not an everyday occurrence, though they are regular just outside of the urbanized area.  The location is between two forested ridges, so a logical passage route.
