Raft of 80+ Ruddy Ducks seen in Croton Bay this blustery late October
morning on a gray and choppy Hudson River, along with small groups of
Bufflehead and Lesser Scaup and bonus of three White-winged Scoters.
Ospreys (4 seen today) continuing around Croton Point and three different
pursuits by 1st
While trying to get in on a pretty much non existent migration flight at Fort

In median west of large deciduous trees.also several purple finches
