"Raven Rick" Boufford and a
young raven at the Grand Canyon.
The Raven Diaries,
stories for "kids" of all ages who enjoy
animals that play!
Welcome to
The Raven Diaries where
all life is celebrated through personal relationships
with real wild ravens. Rick and Diana's goal is to share
much of the magic and beauty this
incredible world
has
to
offer with an ever evolving virtual video diary
of the couples numerous experiences with these wildly fascinating
birds. Rick has always had great respect for the raven but
in 1999 he
and his wife Diana took on the challenge of teaching a 15 day
old baby raven to both fly and then return safely back into
the wild. Their story "Bob, Huey & Me" was first
created as a picture
book for family, but soon after Rick began
video
taping wild
ravens for a movie
version to be put on DVD. "Bob, Huey & Me" chronicles
the couples escapades with both an adult crow (Bob) and then
Huey
the
baby raven. "Bob
Huey & Me" now available on Vimeo!
Why
video?
Rick
likes to share most of his raven research through video, it
helps keep him honest. So you, the viewer, are able to
see, hear and share in the real story. We're human, and even
the most sincere scientist, a prior bias can sometimes influence
and change reality. Rick says,"books are great, but many
times I find the truth stretched a bit to tell a better story
and the truth is wild enough!" So
in most all his films, The Raven Diaries chooses to use raw
video and most, if not all, the actual sound track as it was
recorded
in
the
field. Yeah!

The
Grandest Raven Research Project Ever?
The
Raven Diaries is verifiably the most extensive and ambitious
privately funded research project solely dedicated to ravens
in the world! Decades of research and over a thousand hours
of video of wild ravens from all over the western United States
are just beginning to be reviewed and logged into usable
formats.

Your
State and Federal Tax Dollars Not At Work!
It's
nice to live in a world where many are concerned and want to
donate to further the education of all wildlife. Unfortunately,
The Raven Diaries isn't set up to take donations. All funding
for
research
is
through
the
sales
of
it's numerous
information
and education videos, movies
and books
found at The
Store and through their Amazon

they appreciate those who want to help, and the best way
is simply to purchase
what
you are interested in and to give them as gifts to help
spread the word.
