Re: [nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Muskrat
That one's been there in Brooklyn Bridge Park for awhile. Historically, they were abundant in Prospect Park...another man-made water feature. The Park's Department hardened the edge of the lake in part to deter muskrats back in the 1920's. -Glenn Glenn Phillips Executive Director New York City Audubon 71 West 23rd Street, Room 1523 New York, NY 10010 Phone: (212) 691-7483 Fax: (212) 924-3870 Cell:(917) 806-7814 gphill...@nycaudubon.org www.nycaudubon.org On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 6:13 PM, Paul Sweet wrote: > Not a bird posting but possibly of interest to Brooklyn naturalists.

RE:[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Muskrat
While an artificial habitat pool seems an odd spot for a muskrat, they are fairly common around Brooklyn in coastal spots, such as, Gerritsen Creek in Marine Park. I also recently observed one at Hendrix Creek, directly across from the sewage treatment plant. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
