Another year birding the vacant grounds of Van Cortlandt Park pre-Thanksgiving dinner. Morning snow hampered things somewhat. Lots of Canada Geese but nothing special. When snow lifted I followed along the southeast corner a large (over 100) flock of Horned Larks and a much smaller (a dozen) flock of American Pipits until a Peregrine scared them both off. Then nearly tumbled over a beautifully camouflaged lone Snow Bunting (a first for me at VCP).
