Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

    Do ravens migrate in large flocks? I saw well over 100 birds, possibly as many as 200, all black with this silhouette flying over Beacon, NY yesterday about 4:00 PM. It took about 4 minutes for the flock to pass. I’ve never seen more than three together before, so Common Raven didn’t seem a possibility. Yet, there they were.

    1. Sounds like crows heading to a roost.

    Coulda been. The light was poor.
