[nysbirds-l] Raven flying above Selden

2019-05-02 Thread Raina Angelier
I spotted, or should I say initially heard, a lone raven flying west over
the parking lot of the Selden Library.  His unmistakable call and
spade-shaped tail gave me a huge smile.  He was in stark contrast vocally
and visually to the handful of crows which were also seen a few minutes
later in the same area. My corvid-loving daughters are thrilled about this
:)

Happy birding everyone!

[nysbirds-l] Raven flyover - Valley Stream State Park

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.

[nysbirds-l] raven - calverton

2016-03-18 Thread leormand .
After attending the LINH conference at BNL I headed to EPCAL to see if the
owls wanted to come out early. No sign of SEO's by 5:30 (and Riverhead PD
showed up to tell people they CAN'T walk on the concrete runway) but there
was a Raven being harassed by crows by Calverton Cemetery.  Coincidentally,
there was a dead cedar waxwing on the side of the road.

Not much else to note at EPCAL aside from a red-tailed hawk, some kestrels
and TVs

[nysbirds-l] Raven - east patchogue

2014-12-31 Thread Luke
Around 11:30 this morning I sports a Raven being pursued by crows near the Swan 
River along Swezey street. The size of the raven was noticeable
Compared to the crowd in pursuit. 

The raven nest that was being built on the water tower in blue point is gone. 
Likely dismantled by SCWA. It appears that it was built close to or on top of 
cell tower equipment.

[nysbirds-l] Raven Molt and a few other birds at Greenwood Cemetery..

http://www.petercolenphotography.com/WinterWrens/Greenwood20130323/28569816_b689Dr#!i=2422077062=fsp9sHw

The short list from this morning at Greenwood:

Common Raven is going through lopsided heavy molt with primaries mostly
missing from right wing, but looking fairly ragged all around. 3 crows were
following it around in attack mode. The raven apparently wants to stay at
Greenwood with the crows and red-tails.

4 females at Valley Water, 2 Hooded Mergansers and 2 Ringneck Ducks.

2 Turkey Vultures, 1 near McDonald Ave. Entrance and another over the
street as I walked out.

1 American Woodcock that did not want it's picture taken.

5 Eastern Phoebes

Did not find the Meadowlark.

[nysbirds-l] raven nests

2012-04-22 Thread Andrew Block
Went to look for the raven nest on the bank building crevice on Main in New 
Rochelle today that John reported the other day.  Found the nest but no birds.  
It's in an unusual place for a ravens nest but it sure appears to be one albeit 
a small cramped one.  Will check this week on a nicer day for the inhabitants.  
Also went to check for the nest in Co-Op City with no luck.  Saw no sign of a 
nest anywhere.  I hope I was in the right place, just didn't see any sign of a 
water tower.  Oh well.

[nysbirds-l] Raven/Osprey Nesting in Westchester County

As I was driving down Main St in the City of New Rochelle yesterday, a

fronts the street. As I passed the building, I saw that the Raven flew off
of a large sticknest in the upper left corner of the building's massive
architectual features. the building appears to be a now defunct bank. This
location is at the corner of Main St and LeCount Pl, which is directly next
to the location where Ravens have been reported soaring over buildings, for
quite some time now.

What I find to be even more interesting frankly, is that while driving from
work yesterday on the Hutchinson River Parkway in Mamaroneck (Exit 23), I
glanced at the top of a cell transmission tower that dominates the
landscape there, only to find another (very) large sticknest, this time
with an Osprey in attendance ! I do not know how many active Osprey nests
are now established in Westchester County, but I cannot imagine that it is
more than a small handful.

[nysbirds-l] Raven/Osprey Nesting in Westchester County

2012-04-20 Thread John Askildsen
As I was driving down Main St in the City of New Rochelle yesterday, a
Raven swooped down onto the street briefly, from a retail building that
fronts the street. As I passed the building, I saw that the Raven flew off
of a large sticknest in the upper left corner of the building's massive
architectual features. the building appears to be a now defunct bank. This
location is at the corner of Main St and LeCount Pl, which is directly next
to the location where Ravens have been reported soaring over buildings, for

[nysbirds-l] raven in Hartsdale

2012-03-26 Thread Andrew Block
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.

[nysbirds-l] Raven in Babylon

2012-03-16 Thread Tim Dunn
I was quite surprised to see a Common Raven being harassed by crows and jays 
this morning in my front yard in Argyle Park in Babylon. Possibly the same one 
that was reported in nearby Amityville yesterday. The bird vocalized several 
times to confirm its identity. The bird left after a few minutes and flew 
southwest with crows in chase. 

Thanks,

[nysbirds-l] Raven - Jericho, Nassau County

2012-02-26 Thread David Klauber




Thanks to a call from Kevin O'Leary I was able to finally connect with a Raven 
in Nassau County around 2 PM. It was on a water tower on Jericho Turnpike just 
southeast of the intersection with routes 106/107 on a water tower. It had been 
in the area including office buildings on the north side of Jericho Turnpike 
for about 30 minutes. It flew off to the southeast. No more fruitless trips to 
the Roslyn water tower

[nysbirds-l] Raven again and lots of red at my feeders

2012-02-22 Thread Andrew Block
Just as I was leaving work today at 3:55pm one of the ravens flew over low 
calling and then circled the Trump Plaza and headed south.  I'm thinking more 
and more my ravens are definately the Co-op City ravens.  A coworker lives 
there and has always wanted to see bald eagles and ravens so I told him to look 
up when he's at home and he might see the pair.  Also had lot's of red at my 
feeders last evening, 12 cardinals.  I've had about 12 in the yard for the last 
few years but this is the first time I've actually seen that many at the 
feeders together, quite nice.

[nysbirds-l] Raven, Black-headed Gulls - Niagara River in Buffalo/Tonawanda, Erie Co.

2011-04-22 Thread Jim Pawlicki
Thanks to Willie D'Anna's call in the afternoon, myself, Dave Gordon and
eventually Bill Watson collectively got to see the 2 adult breeding pluamged
Black-headed Gulls and 3 Little Gulls at the Harry's Harbor Place docks
along the Niagara River in Buffalo. Not long after the first Black-headed
Gull flew downriver, a second bird showed up on the docks very near where
the first individual was loafing/resting.  As Willie previously mentioned,
this bird has darker bare parts than the first, most notable on the legs,
which were reddish-black from the tibia down to the feet.  Likewise the bill
was very blackish with just hints of dark red coloration.  For directions to
Harry's Harbor Place, please see Willie's directions pasted below.

Back at the Huntley Plant in Tonawanda, one of the Common Ravens was
observed flying in over River Rd. from the NE carrying something in its bill
(food/nesting material?), after which it eventually landed on top of the
north end of the power plant.  At this time it was getting intensely
harassed by a pair of crows and eventually flew up out of sight into the
rafters between the smoke stack and building itself.

A few photos from today are here: www.flickr.com/photos/jmpawli10


Jim Pawlicki

DIRECTIONS TO THE BLACK-HEADED GULLS LOCATION:
Harry’s Harbour Place Grille, which is accessed from Niagara Street (NY 266),
just south of Ontario St. – look for the small “Harry’s” sign with an arrow.
The access road will take you under I-190 to a marina with many docks, where
the small gulls are sitting.  The Black-headeds seemed to prefer to sit on
the docks that were closer to Harry’s restaurant.  Other places to look
include the foot of Austin Street and the foot of Hertel Ave, both just
south of Harry’s.Between Ontario St and the access road to Harry’s is
another road that will take you just north of Harry’s. where you can drive a
short distance along the river.  There are many Bonaparte’s Gulls in all of
these areas, although they will likely be moving out in the next few days.

[nysbirds-l] Raven at Jones Beach

2010-10-02 Thread Steve Walter

Is there anywhere still worth reporting Common Raven from? Maybe the outer 
beach is the final frontier. There was one at Jones Beach this morning. Seen 
from the nature center parking lot (West End 1), it landed in the one obvious 
dead tree to the east. After displacing an Osprey in the tree, it was displaced 
by two American Crows. I got a couple of pictures off before the raven took 
off, showing the size difference between the two Corvids. It flew off to the 
northeast, I thought to the east end of the park police grounds.

Marc and Sharon Brody observed a Raven in their yard in Plainview, Nassau

large unidentifiable food item in its bill and was being harassed by crows.
This location is approximately 8-10 miles east of where Ravens have been
previously reported in Nassau County.

[nysbirds-l] Raven nest in Queens

2010-03-10 Thread Corey Finger
I returned to the nest site today and witnessed one bird sitting on the nest 
until the second flew in making an interesting croaking noise.  The bird on the 
nest took off before the second bird landed.  The second bird landed next to 
the nest, hopped up on the edge of the nest, and dipped its head into the nest 
and moved it around a bit. If I had to guess I would say it was turning eggs 
but I couldn't see for sure what it was doing.  It then settled down on the 
nest and didn't budge for the fifteen minutes I remained.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Raven nest in Queens

2010-03-10 Thread Susan Herbst
This talk of Ravens is very interesting - After the last snowstorm I  
went out to shovel snow (here in Bayville) and heard a very unusual  
crow (diff from any other crow I've heard 'round here). I did think  
to myself - that it was really odd & sort of raven-y.
I wasn't able to really persue it - 10" of snow...shoveling... stuff  
like that, but now you have me thinking...

Now I'll have to pay more attention.

[nysbirds-l] Raven nest in Queens

2010-03-09 Thread Corey Finger
Johnny Lawrenson, a Kew Gardens naturalist, mentioned that Common Ravens were 
regular in his neighborhood and had nested last year.  He provided the exact 
location and I went and checked it out today, and, sure enough, within seconds 
of arrival, a Common Raven flew over vocalizing and a second raven flew in to 
and sat on a nest.  The first bird disappeared but the second bird stayed on 
the nest for the ten minutes that me, my partner Daisy, and our infant son 
Desmond stuck around.

So far as I know this is a first breeding record for Long Island/New York 
City/Kingbird Region 10 (the BBA shows none south of Westchester).  I don't 
think it would be wise to give the exact location of a nest, especially of such 
a rare breeder for the region.  I was so skeptical of the initial report (sorry 
Johnny!) that I did not bring my camera and digiscoping rig with me today but I 
will certainly be heading back over tomorrow to get pictures (and I will be 
monitoring the nest to see if it succeeds).

and sat on a nest.  The first bird disappeared but the second bird stayed on 
the nest for the ten minutes that me, my partner Daisy, and our infant son 
Desmond stuck around.

So far as I know this is a first breeding record for Long Island/New York 
City/Kingbird Region 10 (the BBA shows none south of Westchester).  I don't 
think it would be wise to give the exact location of a nest, especially of such 
a rare breeder for the region.  I was so skeptical of the initial report (sorry 
Johnny!) that I did not bring my camera and digiscoping rig with me today but I 
will certainly be heading back over tomorrow to get pictures (and I will be 
monitoring the nest to see if it succeeds).

Good Birding,
Corey Finger
