Common ravens — not so common in Georgia — are nesting in Tallulah Gorge

A pair of common ravens is raising chicks on the cliff face of Tallulah Gorge in north Georgia.

It’s a rare event; the big, shaggy, clever black birds aren’t often seen in Georgia.

The ravens and their nest are visible from an overlook along the rim trail of the gorge in Tallulah Gorge State Park — though not easily. Visitors will need binoculars or a spotting scope to see the nest.
