Happy Earth Day, all! While doing some roadside trash pick-up this afternoon, I was rewarded with my FOY Osprey. It was annoying to see it being harassed by a Bald Eagle, but there later appeared to be a pair of Osprey on the nesting platform at Station Island anyway. That totaled up the raptor species count for the day to four, when added to the sightings of Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel, both over Pickerel Lake. Shortly thereafter, a FOY Belted Kingfisher appeared in its traditional area at the east end of the lake---not bad birding for a clean-up detail, especially when accompanied by cheery song from Yellow-rumped Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets :-) Linda Whyte
