[cayugabirds-l] Female cardinal attacking window

A female cardinal has been continually attacking my bedroom window for several weeks. I've tried keeping a light on, and pulling the shades down to no avail. There is a large forsythia bush beneath the window which has been a male cardinal perch for years and an adjacent bridal wreath shrub has

[cayugabirds-l] Ravens - group courtship behavior

After the snow stopped this afternoon, I set up my scope to do a little driveway birding.  I noticed some dark specks over Buffalo Hill;  these showed to be 3 pairs of RAVENS, each pair flying wingtip-to-wingtip as mated pairs often do during courtship.  All 3 pairs were in a kettle, circling
