Dear NY Birders, I don't want to burst Glenn's bubble, but in the name of accuracy I must point out that COMMON RAVEN was reported by William T Helmuth on the East Hampton CBC in 1941. Now whether or not this report was correct is another matter altogether--although Helmuth was given the highest marks by Bull.
