Hi all, Spring has come to Westchester!
Croton Point Park: 52 TREE SWALLOWS hunting over Croton Bay. I spotted a large group of 40-50 swallows on two occasions, from different places in the park, but since the number of birds was close I couldn't be sure they weren't the same group--so I just took the high count (52). Plus, two American Kestrels working the old landfill. Also a Yellow-rumped Warbler and Savannah and Swamp Sparrows, species I haven't seen in the park since the first snowfall of winter. Marshlands Conservancy: 2 OSPREYS on the platform, copulating.
