Highlights of a glorious, barely winter day today at Croton Point Park. We walked from the train station to the Point and back, 11:30-3:15. At least one adult Bald Eagle -- 3 sightings of an adult bird over span of walk may have been more than one individual -- and one sub-adult (being shadowed by a Red-tailed Hawk).
Two Black Vultures. Unexpected. A Common Raven. Even more unexpected. Bird was snacking on the ground, then cleaning its bill and puffing up like a pufferfish on a nearby perch. Northern Harrier male over the landfill. Red-Shouldered Hawk perched by bridge.
