In other news, I was told that the brazen meadowlark was taken by a Red-tailed
Hawk this morning. I know there were more than one, but didn’t see any others.

I found a single hoary redpoll by itself at CPP on January 21. It was
photographed by K. Lamb and two others and confirmed as such. This was before
the influx of common redpolls. I understand one perhaps two were seen very
early in February I did not see those.

elusive recently. The Meadowlark started becoming regular and easy to see a

There are several people who have been instrumental in aiding in the

At 745 am this morning perched on the Rte 9 north exit off ramp for croton

local TV count can sometimes well exceed 100, seems the BV population may be
