Seeing the Cackling Geese reports from Van Cortlandt, I went out to Randall’s Island between the storm and the deep freeze this afternoon to see what the winter storm may have blown in. I spotted a small whitish bird flitting around the edge of the northwestern-most ball field - considering a possible bunting - just then a group of 4 birders from Fort Green joined in and refound and identified a Common Redpoll. I believe this may be a first of the island.
