K. T. Bardwell and I spent some time at Croton Point this a.m. With NW winds we had hoped for a better raptor flight (any would have been good). But some good stuff: large red wing blackbird and cedar waxwing flocks the former clearly moving through; some discernible rusty blackbirds, a few pipits and horned larks and one snow bunting; all above landfill. A "murder" (does 80-100 qualify) of crows. Lots of Savannah; song; white throat, swamp, junco but no unusual sparrows; 5 osprey on low road (bay side). Great look at N. Harrier on ground of landfill. Several yellow rumped and one palm warbler. Highlight was probably a common loon -- first of season - out in croton bay.
