I grew up in Whitestone, and though the birds were not around at that time, I love the fact that they decided to populate this particular area of New York City. According to a December 1970 article in the New York Times , there was a flock of 9 to 12 birds in Fort Tilden. Not in Whitestone, that came later.

When I first saw the post on the New York State listserv about the Hooded Crow on Staten Island I wasn’t going to twitch it. It had to be an escaped bird or at least one that didn’t make it to the southernmost borough in New York City under its own power but by riding a boat.*
