[cayugabirds-l] Raven with nest material

2018-02-12 Thread John Confer
I saw a bird doing some soaring, which distracted my attention from driving 
because it seemed unusual, as if it were in display. As I identified it as a 
raven flying south across Rt. 79 about 0.4 miles west of intersection with 
Flatiron Rd at ~11, Monday, 12 Feb., I was able to see that it had a bunch of 
straw-colored stuff in its beak.

Pretty sure it must be nest building somewhere near intersection of Speed Hill 
and Buffalo Rd. (Alright, why is it called Speed Hill and why is the other 
called Buffalo?)
