Ames Fur Farm Petersburg Creek
There are a group of about 8
ravens that frequent the place
where we dump all the fish
scraps, cleanings etc every
day. This place is about in the
middle of the intertidal zone,
and the ravens will be found
there when the scraps are first
covered and will remain until
everything edible is cleaned
up. They pick the meat off the
flounder & salmon heads. Salmon
(dog's humpy) roe seem to be a choice
diet to them. They rarely squabble
with each other over the feed,
each going about his own business
slowly picking at the scraps.
They are aroused easily. Nearly
the opening of the door of the
fish house 150 feet from them
will put them to flight.
