[nysbirds-l] Common Raven

I just came home to a Common Raven sitting in the tree in my back yard croaking up a storm.  I didn't expect it to be sitting in my yard, usually they are flying by.  It was there for about 10 minutes until I guess the jays finally scared it off. Andrew Andrew v. F. Block Consulting Naturalist
