Quiet at Dryden Lake this afternoon: some scaup, Canada geese, great blue heron. Sudden loud vocalizing of an osprey as it carried a large fish with 3 crows in pursuit. Following it with my binoculars, I noted another osprey directly across the lake - which the crows headed towards as their newest focus.
BTW enroute to Dryden on 13N just past NYSEG I noticed 2 black birds out of the corner of my eye. A raven was being chased and dived at by a crow - to the point of the raven diving straight down in front of oncoming traffic. At the last moment it veered sideways and tumbled into the grass on the edge of the roadway (it was okay...).
