Abstract
We counted common ravens (Corvus corax) during 1990 and 1991 in the Mo jave Desert, California, to examine hypotheses relating to number and type of linear rights-of-way. First, we hypothesized that raven number s would increase with ina easing road traffic volume and traffic speed Second we hypothesized that raven numbers would show a positive relat ionship with increasing number of linear rights-of-way which I an in p arallel. Our data did not support the first hypothesis but did support the second.
