This morning I received word that most of the mature pines, which the
vultures roost in, were taken down. I don't know, as yet, why this
occurred, although I did get to drive past the site ~ 6:45 tonight, and

So, a minute later as I was passing Merritt's Pond, the

Word was related by Gus Keri that a somewhat mysterious woman on a bike saw
a Swallow-tailed Kite over Prospect Park. She evidently had a picture and

More first-of-the year species this morning:
*Broad-winged Hawk - 1 perched along Route 28N preening (I took some photos
and a video)
*Tree Swallow - several flying around Minnow Pond along Route 30 (it is
still completely frozen)
*Palm Warbler - 1

Starling flocks around, though they seemed smaller than yesterday's flock.
Unfortunately, except for a few Starlings and a pair of Cowbirds, none of
