After seeing photos of beautiful perched up meadowlark from the landfill this morning I walked the landfill from 345-445 breeze was up a bit so quite pleasant and great birds (but no meadowlark) -- 4 osprey, 2 red tail, 1 bald eagle (young bird), 1 kestrel, 2 grasshopper sparrow one teed up, Savannah sparrow, 5+ bobolink, and seemingly staging swallows mostly tree, some barn, and I ran into someone who thought he might have had a bank, but then again he may have been a joker as he was wearing a Brown (University) Football tee shirt. And for a drawback just pulled off three ticks albeit while drinking a rewarding beer at the Green Growler
See article below -- with the vigilant support and monitoring of Anne Swaim Saw Mill River Audubon, Charlie Roberto of Teatown and NYFD and all around teacher and naturalist, Karalyn Lamb, invasive species guru, John Phillips, croton point park naturalist and state senator Terrence Murphy a $630K grant has been secured and seemingly funded for a landfill meadow restoration project -- making it likely the Point will be even better when project complete.
