Common Redpolls seen this morning in the birch trees just below the turnoff - around 9 am. Posted on ebird. There were five eagles in one tree just above the bridge. And horned grebe, redheads, common mergansers, buffle heads and the other usual ducks (including the pair of mallards displaying and mating). ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Matthew Wills [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2015 9:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point
A birthday walk in Croton Point Park before the snow today revealed a dearth of Bald Eagles. We had 9 sightings of eagles, mostly distant. (Only 9! I know, we're getting spoiled.) A male Norther Harrier was bouncing over the hill. A Merlin nicely perched near the Point. A single Red-tailed hawk. No Common Redpoll. Cold and bitter with the damp wind, with ice everywhere except around the Point itself. I was expecting to see some eagles on the train ride up the Croton-Harmon and then back to NYC, but only one each way. A good day for a flask of whisky, for reinforcements.
