Hibernating Habits of the Northern Raven When hiking in the remote plateaus of northern Pennsylvania or mountainous
regions elsewhere, you may hear the croaking and caws of the northern
raven. Unlike their cousins, crows, ravens largely avoid human activity
and nest on cliffs or trees high in isolated settings. Visitors with keen
ears can occasionally hear the voice of a raven overheard at Fallingwater
and WPC's Bear Run Nature Reserve in Fayette County. Pictured left is a northern raven (Corvus corax) .
