Thank you to Barbara Romeo for her suggestions. I see on the e-mails Jamaica Bay is popular place for birding. James, thank you for the navigation info and Robert De Candido and Deborah Allen on their Central Park reports. I have contacted Jack in City Island and he has kept in touch with me. Soon, parking will be free again at Orchard Beach and I can visit Hunter Island and the like. I've been to Central Park several weeks ago and stumbled on the ramble. I saw quite a few birds but I couldn't id them. However the highlight of my day was the Coopers Hawk or Red Tail Hawk ( May in Rockefeller Park id' my photo as a Coopers Hawk), that had caught a Squirrel and was feasting on it. Yes it's a cruel world even for birds and animals. I said a prayer for the poor Squirrel. At Rockefeller Park a Red Tail Hawk caught a Chipmunk. Lastly Thank you everyone on this e-mail list for posting you're observations. It's keeping me busy with my ipad app's of Bird books I downloaded. I have Peterson's, National Geographic, and the Audubon books on my ipad. Happy Birding, John Martino Bronx,NY --
