An adult Bald Eagle was flying low over and perching in Green-Wood this afternoon. At one point, it broke the high branch it was on, sending the wood plummeting as it flapped away. Two other birders I ran into saw it leave the cemetery in a northwesterly direction. Band visible on one foot, but not readable. Pictures tomorrow on my blog.
I also twice saw a Peregrine buzz the Monk Parakeet nest on the 5th Avenue gate.
