"Crows, the birds most often mistaken for ravens, are the proverbial canaries in the West Nile virus coal mine and have vanished from the city over the past decade. So, if you see a big black bird, flying about, what you are looking at is a raven."
Not quite.

It's always cool to see birding get some exposure. But to be fair to a Raven couple a bit further north, we've had Ravens at Eglinton and Pharmacy since 2013. :P

Has the Post fired all their editors?
I can possibly forgive the decision not to capitalize the proper names of the various species as a stylistic choice, but "greater scaupers"??? Plus the crow thing mentioned above. Sorry to be so negative, I like to see birds get some press, but it seems like a bit of a shoddy article.
