Fairbanks ravens seem to mourn electrocuted birds

Link: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner Minutes after two ravens were electrocuted on a Fairbanks transformer on Tuesday, hundreds of their comrades arrived at the scene in what seemed to some witnesses to be a sort of mourning ritual. The ravens hung around for just a few minutes before dispersing. “I’ve never heard of ravens holding funerals,” said a Fish and Game biologist. “It wouldn’t surprise me if the birds that got zapped were still alive and were acting erratically. That would attract the attention of other ravens.” The News-Miner includes three photos from the scene with the story.
