The birds sure keep popping up in the area I work in New Rochelle.  At 4pm today I had three Common Ravens cavorting about 150 feet above the building I work at heading more or less west to east.  Once again the location is 10 Commerce Dr.  I wonder what next will show up!   Andrew Andrew v.

After our Jan. 14th pelagic out of Freeport was weathered out, I asked the captain if we could tentatively re-schedule the trip for Jan. 28 and he said yes. With those people from the cancelled trip who have already said "yes", we need about another dozen or so to make the trip sail. We did get
