[nysbirds-l] Common Raven

2017-06-29 Thread Andrew Block
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.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven

2017-06-14 Thread Andrew Block
I just had a Common Raven flying across in front of my house heading northeast 
at eye level with my third floor apartment.  I guess they are breeding 
somewhere around Van Cortlandt Park.  I'm on the northern border of the park.

Although Ravens have now become regular throughout Long Island, this morning 
was the first time I've found one right in a strip mall parking lot.   This guy 
was calling and flying around in the Kohls shopping center on 25A in Rocky

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven - farmingville

2016-04-01 Thread leormand
This afternoon I observed a common Raven being chased off by a goose at 
Brookhaven Town Hall. The goose was defending its nest and I'm assuming the 
Raven was trying to steal an egg. With quite a few geese nests around the 
building and seeing a Raven for a second time in a month it will be interesting 
to see if they are successful at predating any nests or chicks.

[nysbirds-l] common raven - east patchogue

2015-05-27 Thread leormand .
While on my morning run, just west of the Swan River (and south of Montauk
Highway) I observed several crows and an Osprey above some trees - I then
heard the unmistakeable call of a Common Raven.  The Osprey seemed to
disappear while the crows mobbed the crown of a tree.  I never saw the
raven - making me wonder if that was what the crows were mobbing?

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven, Central Islip (Suffolk Co)

2015-02-22 Thread glennq

I forgot to post this on the day of the sighting (Thu., Feb 19th).

Around 4:45, I picked up my son from private soccer training at the Central 
Islip campus of NYIT. While driving out of the main campus road, we observed 
a large black bird pecking at something in the snow.
It turned out to be a Common Raven. We enjoyed views of it from the car at a 
distance of only 10 feet. It stared at us intently, you could see the 
intelligence in its eye. A bit unnerving. It reminded me of the game warden’s 
opinion of the  velociraptors in the movie Jurassic Park:


“That one... when she looks at you, you can see she's working things 
out...They remember...”

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven Nest - Patchogue (Suffolk)

2014-11-30 Thread Derek Rogers
Two separate sightings of a pair of Common Ravens in Sayville earlier this 
month had me focusing my attention on the nearby water and cell towers in the 
area. About a week ago I noticed an interesting looking nest that had been 
built along the west side of the water tower in Patchogue. The overall size and 
structure of the nest seemed to look best for Common Raven.

Sure enough, I drove by the water tower this morning to find two Common Ravens 
on the nest. One of the birds was physically in the nest and had a stick in 
it's bill (appeared to be nest building) and the other perched on the railing 
beside the nest and was calling frequently. 

The water tower is located on the south side of Montauk Highway, immediately 
south of West Lake in Patchogue. There is roadside parking along the south side 
of Montauk Highway, which is also the best location to view the nest. You can't 
miss the nest and it's easily seen with the naked eye, especially when 
approaching from the west. Like the Hampton Bays Ravens, these birds are 
spending quite a bit of time away from the nest therefore persistence may be 
necessary to eventually catch a glimpse of them. Good luck if you try and 
please keep a respectful distance from the water tower. This is a really unique 
opportunity to view these extremely interesting birds. 

Best,
Derek Rogers
Sayville

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven, Lower Manhattan

2013-05-23 Thread Alex Krycek-Tyrell
This morning on my way to school, I had a flyover COMMON RAVEN seen
from the Hudson River bike path where it crosses Christopher Street.
While I was walking, I heard the distinctive croaking vocalization and
stopped to look up for the bird. Sure enough, I spotted it flying a
little above building-height from the north west, presumably having
crossed the Hudson from New Jersey and continuing to fly south east
over lower Manhattan. It was showing long, narrow wings, a long,
wedge-shaped tail and slower, deeper wingbeats than those of an
American Crow as well as the obvious large size when compared to
nearby gulls. Unfortunately, I had no camera with me to document this
as I know it is a very rare sighting in this borough, especially this
far south.

[nysbirds-l] COMMON RAVEN--Lakeland County Park (Suffolk Co.)

2013-04-18 Thread John Gluth
The highlight--however frustratingly brief--of a nearly 4-hour visit today at 
Lakeland County Park (Islandia) and adjoining Suffolk greenbelt, was the 
presence of at least one COMMON RAVEN.
I actually had two encounters. The first was with one bird briefly glimpsed 
through gaps in the trees, flying not far above the treetops. My initial 
impression at first glance was of a raptor based on size and wing length. A 
second, better look revealed a large corvid with a rounded/wedge-shaped tail 
tip, carrying an object in its bill. As it moved off it uttered two soft, 
gutteral calls. The second encounter came approximately 15 minutes later and 
~1/4 mile away when I heard several deep, resoundingly loud croaks from 
somewhere just to the east of the park. Unfortunately I never got a look at 
this bird (same individual as earlier sighting?), but the vocalizations were 
unmistakeable. Recalling a report not too long ago of 2 Ravens from the 
surrounding neighborhood, the prospect of local breeding seemed plausible. So 
when I got home I made a cursory search on GoogleMaps for water towers or other 
likely nesting sites within a reasonable radius of the park--without success. 
I'll try to go back in hope of getting better looks at the bird/s and the 
direction of their movement.   

I found another 40 species during during my visit, with a fair number of Spring 
migrants present, including Green Heron (1, photo), Eastern Phoebe (2), N. 
Rough-winged Swallow (2), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (14), Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (1), 
Brown Creeper (3), Hermit Thrush (1), Palm Warbler (5), Yellow-rumped Warbler 
(6), and Eastern Towhee (2)

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven in Brooklyn (Kings Co.)

2013-01-27 Thread Matthew Wills
Witnessed an aerial ballet/battle between a red-tailed hawk and common raven 
over Green-Wood Cemetery this morning at 10:35. Lasted 5-7 minutes, with the 
birds circling around each other and the hawk being the main aggressor, 
dive-bombing the raven. They worked their way south with a few vocalizations 
from the raven. This was my first sighting of a raven within the bounds of 
Brooklyn.

RE: [nysbirds-l] common raven - east patchogue

2012-10-15 Thread Kevin J. McGowan
No, that's not a Common Raven; it's an American Crow (an adult, probably male). 
 The square tail, relatively thin bill, and smooth, short throat feathers are 
all wrong for raven, but just right for crow.  A raven should have a tail that 
is longer in the middle than the sides, a very deep bill, and long throat 
feathers.  Compare the image at 
https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Summer2012Birds#5758416976127251634.

I admit that the bill of your bird is large, which is why I am guessing it is a 
male crow.  The bill is big, yes, but not raven-big.

I have been following the reports of ravens on Long Island with interest.  They 
were missing from there during the 2000 Breeding Bird Atlas, but I suspected 
their return was likely.  Please keep posting about sightings and nests!


Best,

Kevin

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven at Southard's

2012-04-15 Thread Tim Dunn
There was one Common Raven flying south over the woods abutting Southard's Pond 
in Babylon this morning. The bird vocalized several times. 

A couple of Parulas were heard, along with the usual Song Sparrows and Carolina 
Wrens. No sign of any Yellow Warblers here yet, though several usually nest 
here. A female Hairy Woodpecker was seen, along with some very territorial 
Red-Bellies.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven possible nest building in Co-Op City, Bronx 2/11-2/12

2012-02-12 Thread Richard Aracil

Hi All,

Yesterday, I once again saw a pair of Ravens from my window. The birds were 
flying back and forth between a patch of woods near the Pelham Bay Bridge and a 
neighboring building. Once I grabbed my binoculars, I saw that they were 
carrying sticks to the top of a building near my own! After running downstairs 
to get a better look, I again saw a raven with a twig, but lost the bird behind 
a building and did not see exactly where the stick was brought. After that, I 
saw the pair perched on the large structure housing a water tower atop 120 
Elgar Place and saw them drive away a Red-tailed Hawk. I saw no further nesting 
activity aside from the birds consistently hanging around the same area at the 
top of 120 Elgar. Today, I briefly checked on them. I did not see any more 
material carries, but did see the pair again perched atop 120 Elgar. I have not 
yet seen a nest and if there is one, it could easily be hidden from view in 
that large structure.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven in the Rocky Point Preserve

2012-02-04 Thread Jim Osterlund
In the west part of the preserve, west of Rocky Point Road, a Common  
Raven loudly proclaimed his presence from the top of a  pine.   
Apparently just the one, though;  he got no replies.

This morning at 8 AM, while driving to work, I observed a Common Raven flying 
low over the trees, crossing Vets Hwy (454) near the northern end of Connetquot 
River SP, just south of the RR tracks.
It was being harassed by two crows as it headed east.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven, etc., Epcal area (Suffolk)

2011-02-13 Thread Douglas Futuyma
I visited the Epcal (formerly Grumman) property on Saturday, Feb. 12, in
midmorning.  A third-year BALD EAGLE flew up from the ground near the
western runway (where the LeConte's Sparrow had been) and made its way
westward.  A handsome ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK (pale morph) was soaring about.  I
saw no passerines except for 5 FIELD SPARROWS along the frozen pond near the
southern entrance to the property. Most noteworthy was a COMMON RAVEN along
Line Road, a short distance south of Grumman Road.

A drive along Dune Road, from Westhampton Beach to Shinnecock Inlet and
back, yielded no notable sightings. From several vantage points, including
the Inlet, the ocean seemed nearly devoid of birds.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven Pair Rocky Pt

2011-01-06 Thread Joel Horman
Late this morning a pair of Common Ravens were seen flying across 
Whiskey Rd., Middle Island at the southern end of the Rocky Pt Preserve. 
They landed on a telephone pole where they interacted by mutual 
grooming, perhaps a sign of potential breeding.

[nysbirds-l] Common Raven, Suffolk County

2010-11-01 Thread kathy k
 At 4pm today a vocalizing Common Raven was seen flying from east to west near Cedar Beach (Brookhaven Township) in Mt Sinai. After spotting it (and hearing it)  near the corner of Harbor Rd and Pipe Stave Hollow Rd and snapping off a few pics with a point and shoot camera. I jumped in the car and started heading west toward the beach hoping to overcome the bird before it reached the inlet. Alas, I was stuck behind a slow driver and lost sight of the bird. Only to have 2 large black birds rise up out of the corner of my eye and disappear behind/above my car just as I reached the inlet. Were these both ravens? Crows? I jumped out of my car and they were nowhere to be seen. I saw neither a crow nor a raven in several passes up and down the corridor. Kathryn Klecan
