This is very close to the PA line. He had close observations of the ravens as well as direct comparisons to Am. crows. Also yesterday, I spent a couple hours birding locally here in Poland Twp., NE Mahoning Co. and had the following: Cooper's hawk, chimney swifts, hairy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, 2 e. wood-pewees, red-eyed vireo, Carolina wren, 3 house wrens, winter wren, e. bluebird, gray catbirds, cedar waxwings, magnolia warbler, blackpoll warbler, black-and-white warbler, c. yellowthroat, scarlet tanager, e. towhees, and rose-breasted grosbeak. In nearby Struthers, I saw an adult bald eagle (or two?) soaring over the Mahoning R. valley on 9/22 and 9/23. Probably migrant(s), as eagles are not known to nest there.
