Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raven courtship

2015-03-07 Thread Geo Kloppel 
I've been getting the same thing from the Ravens here, though more 
business-like, not as showy, perhaps because this is an established pair...?

Just now they went over quite low, in close tandem flight, making soft 
vocalizations. One was carrying a food item, or more likely a wad of nesting 
material, as they headed up toward the traditional nest site (north face of 
Sorry Hunter Hill, 1920' elevation)

Not sure where you are on S Danby but I strongly agree! We have property on
Dry Brook Rd and the raven population is very large around there. As well
as barred owls and in the summer, RS Hawks.

Clara, I also wondered how detailed you wanted Raven stories to be.  I often 
take my dog walking in the woods up by the overlooks at Taughannock and Ravens 
nest in that gorge. One of my delights is hearing them calling to each other as 
they fly along the river.  One day one was stationary in a tree and doing many 
different calls, all Raven sounding but with the variability of crows with lots 
of vocalizations. Another time I was walking along the edge and a Raven flew 
below me and I realized how huge they are.  According to some numbers I have 
read they are close to a Red-tailed Hawk size.  And then another day I was 
driving back down rt 89 and an crow was in furious pursuit of a Raven (they 
will mob and chase them the same way they do hawks) and they were both kind of 
flying diving straight at  me and the contrast in size and power was so 
evident.  The Crow was about half the size and looked puny.  When you hear them 
in the sky you immediately seize on that as a magic moment.

Nice talking to you this morning.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Raven inquiry

2014-12-12 Thread Rob Blye 
Clara, 

I was a wildlife science major at Cornell from 1968-1972. I spent much time 
outside birding, hunting, fishing and taking courses all over the southern tier 
of upstate NY. I do not recall seeing a raven anywhere in the southern tier 
during my tenure at Cornell. I probably saw or heard ravens in the Adirondacks 
but do not affirmatively remember. 

I spent my career working as a fish and wildlife biologist consulting to the 
utility industry, for the most part. As an aside, the company I worked for 
initially, Ichthyological Associates, Inc. (and ultimately retired from a 
successor to IA), was started by Dr. Edward C. Raney, who mostly hired his 
students to staff projects around the eastern US. 

Many, many years later, in the fall of 2004, I was on a project at a proposed 
wind power site near Hornby NY, about half way between Corning and Watkins 
Glen. We had been hired to monitor raptor, songbird and waterfowl migration as 
part of the permitting and impact assessment process for a utility scale wind 
energy project. I spent many days looking at a mostly empty field where the 
monitoring site was located. I recall that I did not see a single migrating 
raptor during many days of observation. 

However I did observe resident red-tailed hawks, northern harriers and common 
ravens on a daily basis. One day I was watching an adult harrier coursing over 
the fields hunting. I was enjoying the harrier show when a single raven showed 
up and took up an aerial position behind and slightly higher than the harrier. 
The raven mimicked every move that the harrier made until the harrier turned 
over in the air and struck at the raven with its talons. The raven hopped up in 
the air, dropped back a few feet as the harrier righted itself and continued 
flying low over the field. As soon as the harrier resumed hunting, the raven 
resumed its mimicking flight until again the harrier struck at the raven. This 
process continued for about 20 min. I could usually see the birds naked eye but 
I also had binoculars and a scope. I watched in amazement as the aerial show 
went on for about 20 minutes. Finally the raven moved off and the harrier flew 
to another field. 

I speculated then, and now, as to why the raven mimicked the harrier. Was it 
planning to steal a mouse from the harrier? Was it simply demonstrating its 
flying prowess to the harrier and itself? Was it playing? I like to believe 
that the behavior was play with the potential benefit of a stolen meal. 

One thing for certain is that the raven was every bit as light in the air and 
accomplished a flyer as was the harrier. And we all know that harriers appear 
magical in the way that they soar, flutter, kite and drop to the ground on 
wings a buoyant as a helium-filled balloon.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] raven

2013-04-12 Thread nutter.dave 
I have seen a single COMMON RAVEN in that area a couple of times recently, once flying north low alongside Pine Tree Rd by the Oxley Equestrian center at dawn, and once later in the day in the field opposite the end of Snyder Hill Rd stretching down to the East Ithaca Recreationway. I'm curious whether it's a young unmated bird or whether it's foraging while its mate tends a nest somewhere in the neighborhood. I wouldn't have guessed this as raven habitat, but then I'm not a raven.--Dave NutterOn Apr 12, 2013, at 07:42 AM, Ray Zimmerman r...@cornell.edu wrote:RAVEN about 7:30 flying over horse pastures on Pine Tree Rd toward East Hill Plaza.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] raven

2013-04-12 Thread Tobias Dean 
If anyone wants to observe Ravens come to my house. They have been nesting
in the tall pines at the end of Yaple Rd(and King Rd.)
for at least 2 years. I am a bit concerned they are going to go after my
peaches, they certainly like my compost.
Last summer there was a family hanging around, and I have seen more than 2
so far.

Hi all,

Since I got an e-mail requesting what town, (and rightly so) I was refering
to Ithaca, NY.
