Following up on Dan Heglund's sightings of Common Ravens on the Shoreham power plant in Wading RIver (Suffolk Co.)- Today I observed 2 Ravens grooming each other for several minutes before flying around the southwest side of the building.
Earlier I had a female Red Crossbill at the Longwood (Smith) Estate in Middle Island. The bird called loudly and frequently from the tops of bare decidiuous trees before heading into the hemlocks near the cemetary. An adult Cooper's Hawk also remained quitely perched near the top of a tall evergreen next to the main house. Derek Rogers has been finding Red Crossbills in the Calverton Ponds property- I'd expect that this would be a great year to find crossbills nesting in Suffolk County.
