Had my first Boat-tailed Grackle in the Bronx today. I saw atleast one male, maybe more flying and calling across from the on ramp to the Hutch Parkway (north) west of the Shore Rd./Pelham Bridge Rd. traffic circle. There was also one or two Monk Parakeet nests with at least one parakeet on the cell tower next to the rail road bridge that you go over from this traffic circle to the parkway. I have seen them there before, but before the tower was there. Cool stuff. Andrew Andrew BlockConsulting Naturalist Yonkers, New York www.flickr.com/photos/conuropsis/albums --
