And on that note. A call on Bronx Birders to please contact Margarita Eremeyev at mereme...@gmail.com
She is doing extensive research on the possible adverse effects the planned paving of the Putnam Trail in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx May have on wildlife. For example, the Rusty Blackbirds that have utilized the wetland area near Tibbets Brook might be affected. There have been quite a few of us enjoying some of the birds being reported from that borough as of late. Please take the time out to contact Margarita to see if you could be of assistance.
