Hi All, Yesterday, I once again saw a pair of Ravens from my window. The birds were flying back and forth between a patch of woods near the Pelham Bay Bridge and a neighboring building. Once I grabbed my binoculars, I saw that they were carrying sticks to the top of a building near my own! After running downstairs to get a better look, I again saw a raven with a twig, but lost the bird behind a building and did not see exactly where the stick was brought. After that, I saw the pair perched on the large structure housing a water tower atop 120 Elgar Place and saw them drive away a Red-tailed Hawk. I saw no further nesting activity aside from the birds consistently hanging around the same area at the top of 120 Elgar. Today, I briefly checked on them. I did not see any more material carries, but did see the pair again perched atop 120 Elgar. I have not yet seen a nest and if there is one, it could easily be hidden from view in that large structure.
