Land fill

Not related to nest sightings... The city of Mesquite landfill attracts literally hundreds of ravens. This landfill is approximately 5 miles from the Scenic, AZ. area. In the badlands area west of Mesquite I have seen a number of tortoises in the past.

Cliff face/rock formation

Mojave Desert environment. Nest is located in a recess on the face of a sandstone bluff approximately 100 ft. in height. Nest is approximately 30 ft. above ground level. This was an active nest for at least the last 3 years. There is a considerable raven population here in Scenic. In the Scenic area there are many open trash dumpsters that attract ravens. It appears the young have all fledged this year from the described nesting site. Last year I located a fledgling at the bottom of the cliff. About a month ago I observed the parent birds driving off raptors from the nesting site. Kestrels and red tail hawks. The GPS coordinates are: 36°47.718N 114°0.423W I attempted to input these coordinates in the requested section below but the format wasn't accepted.

tree: Joshua tree

This may be an old inactive nest, difficult to tell. No adults seen in the immediate vicinity. Will check next time I'm around. Coordinates from google maps, they did not accurately represent the nest location which is off of Mud Hills Rd on Tule Springs. Moved point manually to correct. Will take a better point next time.
