Raven Update: I hope my neighbor doesn't see this!

(If you haven't read the previous entry: My Raving Ravens are Back, read that first as this is a follow-up to that one.)
I returned from a 2 week trip to find the female raven in her nest, while the male is always very close by.  There must be eggs as she stays there all the time now.
She is stretched out along the back of the nest.



He sits in one of several trees beside the house.
(Her nest is in the right corner of the photo.)

Or he perches on a telephone pole beside the nest house. 
 I wondered if she ever left the nest at all and how he fed her. Then this afternoon about 3PM I saw two ravens on the neighbor's deck, or should I say on his barbecue, eating what I think is a mouse or rat.  I looked into the nest to find it empty. So it was them.                                                     
 
He let her eat first.
            

Then when she flew back to the nest, he finished the leftovers.
                     Hope he gets those last morsels on the barbecue top! Yuck!

(Still on raven watch. To be continued....)
