Had a Common Raven in the parking lot of of the new Hmart across from the TD bank in Hartsdale on Central Ave. It got chased off by the ubiquitous Fish Crows and flew north with them in hot pursuit. It was most likely one of the pair from White Plains. It's amazing how tiny the crows are compared to the ravens. Who would've thought the day would come when you could compare them side by side in the wild and in a shopping mall parking lot at that. Andrew
