Many local birders were hoping for storm-tossed vagrants from the southern seas today, by my birding notes have a distinctly northern flair. A pair of Common Ravens jolted me out of bed with loud croaks this morning. I've heard and seen them around Lynbrook but this was my first encounter with the species from my house. A chat with my dad revealed that he also saw Golden-crowned Kinglets in the yard today. Enjoy the rest of Labor Day, because summer 2016 is not long for this world.
