I spent the day birding at the stadium.  I counted at least 50 Common
Raven (Corvus corax-victorious!) that were quite active down below
pummeling the Steelers.  From my seats (which were so high up, they
were great for hawk-watching), during the game I tallied:

1 Peregrine Falcon (flying back towards the city / North)
1 Bald Eagle (migrant, flying high and due South)
5 TV's
4 Laughing Gulls
7 Ring-billed Gulls
2 Rock Doves
and
2 Monarch Butterflies.

When I got home from the game, two Ruby-throated hummingbirds were
battling it out over feeder rights and one Canada Warbler flitted
about in our trees, just after a storm soaked our neck of the woods
with rain... again.  And if you've ever wondered what a hummingbird
does in the rain, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nervousbird/6138697150/

Good Birding,
