Gerry McGee, my wife Jane and I strolled through Rockefeller State park this morning for a few hours and were pleasantly surprised by the birds there for a summer day. Bluebirds were all over and we were surprised to find a Scarlet Tanager. It’s a very pleasant place to walk and the birds only enhanced the experience.
