Hi everyone. I was just traveling down Blue ball Road and I looked up to see a strange bird gliding with a Turkey Vulture. I slammed on the breaks and pulled over. Then I heard it. That real coarse craw, craw craw. Thank god I had my camera with me. I snapped off a few pics before he headed North toward 95. That was a county bird and a Year bird for me. I don't know if there are any records for Cecil before??
Also Just a note. I had two Black-capped Chickadees just above Newark, De. today. Only about 10 minutes from Maryland. I wonder if it is going to be an evasion year for them.
If anyone would like to view my pics of the Raven let me know. I haven't seem them yet on the Computer but they didn't look to bad on the Camera. I could really see the wedge shaped tail.
