Dennis had spent the better part of his academic life studying wild waterfowl and their habitats. He originally came to California to join the University of California at Davis, Department of Animal Physiology in 1971. Dr. Raveling was a major influence in the creation of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Biology which branched from Animal Physiology. Dr. Raveling made major contributions to the ecology, management, and sociobiology of Canada geese in the interior of North America as a graduate student and then as a biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service. Then, in coming to California as a new professor and one of the first wildlife ecologists at Davis, Dr. Raveling spent the rest of his career working to study and conserve waterfowl in the great California Central Valley. In that time, he made major contributions to the knowledge of wintering wild ducks and geese and the marshlands to which they belong. He became a world authority on wintering waterfowl. One of his great attributes was his ability to take that knowledge and put it to use in the management and conservation of wild birds in California. That ability carried through in his teaching. The Wildlife Society recently honored Dr. Raveling with the highly prestigious Special Service Recognition Award, for "Lifetime Achievement" and the Wildlife Society's 1991 Publication Award.
