Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) spent the morning at Croton Pt. Park in Westchester. Our target bird was a Vesper Sparrow which we did not find. Otherwise, we toured the landfill for a few hours on a lovely sunny day with a splendid Fall color background. Birds on or over the landfill as follows--
The sparrows: SONG, WHITE-CROWNED and SAVANNAH; the raptors: OSPREY, NORTHERN HARRIER, SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, BALD EAGLE, RED-TAILED HAWK and AMERICAN KESTREL; others: 25 AMERICAN CROWS after a Red-tail, EASTER PHOEBE and PALM WARBLER. It's Summer all over again.
