The Buffleheads are back! Buffleheads were observed on my first bird walk for Bartow Pell Mansion. I will be doing two more bird tours, Dec 21 and Jan. 9th - Prowling for Owls. The Mansion is a great place to bird because its north side borders a marsh and it's south side is Pelham Bay Park -where 2 adult Red headed woodpeckers -are still being spotted. On today's walk we saw the following:
