2016-04-28 Thread Michael Zito
This morning before heading to HLSP, I did a quick walk through of Valley Stream. A single Raven flew over carrying sticks in its beak. It was being harassed by two crows. With all the Raven sightings going on in this area, I wonder if this is indicative of a pair trying to nest. Mike Z.

the black-necked stilt is still at the location previously described (6:56pm) and looked quite comfortable, also saw some little blue herons and heard some common yellowthroats. Mike aka Snouty McSnouster Sent from my iPhone On Jun 6, 2015, at 3:35 PM, Derek Rogers drogers0...@gmail.com
