In Memory of Sedona
Sedona
Common Raven
Corvus corax
Sedona passed away in May 2023 after 27 years as a VINS ambassador. He has touched countless lives, and will be missed. Adopt in Sedona's memory to support all the birds at the VINS Nature Center.
Sedona was brought to a rehabilitator in Sedona, AZ, in 1996, as a juvenile with a fractured right wing. A year later, he came to VINS for permanent residence, due to the wing not healing well enough for flight.
Ravens are some of the most intelligent birds in the world, known for their ability to solve problems, use tools, and mimic unusual sounds and even human voices. Sedona in particular could perfectly mimic a small dog barking!
