[nysbirds-l] Croton point

It seems as if the osprey finally cleared out of Croton Bay; at least I did not see one the mid afternoon of 11/20. There were some raptors though singles of harrier, kestrel and coopers hawk and at least 4 red tails. Pipits made themselves quite visible for a change in the grass by mud/puddle

Richard Aracil and I got an Iceland gull from Twin islands in Pelham bay park this afternoon, it is now perched on the rocks in front of High island. And a Goshawk just flew next to us on Twin island 5 min ago, likely still in the area. Pictures of both birds will be posted on ebird. Matthieu Sent
