I have been surprised to see a Common Raven a couple times this spring along major roads between Ovid and Seneca Falls, which I hadn't figured on being their habitat, (but neither did I think Pine Tree Road in Ithaca was). I also saw a possible Northern Goshawk thereabouts, but perhaps it was migra

I think May 17th is an early but possible date for Raven fledglings. If you're
around the area frequently, their loud begging calls should give them away. In
fact they get pretty darned loud even before they leave the nest. You can often
hear Raven nestlings from several thousand feet away.

I have them regularly over the yard, Slaterville/Burns Rd., and am sure they're
nesting close by. The local crows never miss a chance to gang up on them this
time of year.

Where there are usually two ravens in the neighborhood, this morning at
6:30 a.m. there were 7 flying overhead, with at least two vocalizing. I
wonder if this could be both parents and new fledglings already?

Yesterday (very windy) on a walk to Beaver Pond at Lindsay-Parsons Preserve,
West Danby, I had the following birds:
Canada Goose pair with two fuzzy goslings
Wood Duck
Great Blue Heron (2)
Green Heron
Warbling Vireo
Blue Jay
American Crow
American Robin
Gray Catbird
Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided
Yesterday at Lindsay-Parsons Preserve, West Danby, I heard a Baltimore
Oriole singing just three loud, piping, ascending musical notes that might
also fit your description. LNS # 112697 has some that resemble it.

Pitchwise yes, but the call I heard yesterday featured 3 distinct and
separate and slower tempo tones, not the glissed over middle tone on the
recording you referenced.
