[cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens
I just heard a Raven gronking as it flew by. I've noticed that occasionally someone will post a sighting and it has me wondering. Just how common ARE they? We see or hear them every day, and think that there is a nest within a mile or so to our east. Most of the time we see them they are traversing an east/west corridor, seemingly using our road as a flight lane. The young must have fledged as we are now seeing a group of three. We've always sort of assumed because we see them every day, that they are becoming more common, but maybe not? How often do people see or hear them?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens
I've been seeing/hearing them at our home once or twice a week for the past 3 years. Pretty sure they nest in Turkey Hill State forest, about .5 miles away. David McCartt Tubbs Hill Rd.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens
Here, in the Binghamton area (specifically Endicott) we've seen Ravens this year on a semi-regular basis, which has never happened before in my awareness. I was wondering the same thing, myself. Are they becoming more common around here?! We've also seen some in our short travels, which also seems to be more frequent.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens
A pair of Ravens nests yearly on my hillside overlooking West Danby. Other Ravens nest directly across the valley, and still others farther east in the Danby State Forest, as well as off to the west in the Newfield State Forest. We're solidly in the forested emerald necklace here, and I would think there must be at least one pair for each ten-square-mile block of appropriate habitat.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens on Burdick Hill Rd.
Sorry for the late post. Yesterday (Thursday 12/27/11) at about 12:45 PM I pulled into the TIkkun V'or parking lot on N. Triphammer Rd. and Burdick Hill Rd. and saw two Common Ravens soaring and rolling over the field just south of Burdick Hill Road. They descended on a carcass and began to pick nervously at what I assumed to be an erstwhile deer. As I scoped the action I noticed a third bird. After looking at a bit of video I took of the scene the third bird revealed itself as a Turkey Vulture. Others of its ilk were circling overhead.

[cayugabirds-l] Common Ravens, OOB Northern Shrike, American Kestrel
In my travels for work today I found 2 COMMON RAVENS with a flock of AMERICAN CROWS in the town of Caroline in a corn field northwest of the intersection of Slaterville, Creamery, and Midline Roads; an immature NORTHERN SHRIKE slightly outside the basin, and slightly inside the town of Groton on Peruville Road opposite North Wood Road; and a male AMERICAN KESTREL in the town of Cortlandville, I suspect also just outside the basin, on NYS 222 opposite the east end of Old Groton Rd. --Dave Nutter -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
