[nysbirds-l] Croton point

The gate was up so I drove out to Teller's Point at first light; the large Canvasback raft is visible in the bay. It was a beautiful first morning of winter with the alpenglow (even if not the correct word, I like it) hitting the Palisades; very calm at the confluence of the Hudson River and Cr

It seems as if the osprey finally cleared out of Croton Bay; at least I did not see one the mid afternoon of 11/20. There were some raptors though singles of harrier, kestrel and coopers hawk and at least 4 red tails. Pipits made themselves quite visible for a change in the grass by mud/puddle

There were a lot of doves at CPP this a.m. -- having read about a white winged dove in Sandy Hook yesterday I gave careful look. Counted 81 in three locations all were (in) mourning doves, though none were crying, as far as I could tell. Nothing else of note although a red tail hawk was bathin

Kyle Bardwell and I spent about 90 minutes out at CPP this morning; highlights included 2 common loon in the river -- at least one calling (we were surprised to hear this time of year), RT loon (bay side), kingfisher, at least 2 osprey, bald eagle, harrier, cooper's hawk, merlin (perched), RC ki

[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park Vespers (Westchester County) 10/23

At least two Vesper Sparrows along the stone-lined gully of the landfill across from the RV parking lot. Patience necessary; very windy, and they don't stay out in the open for long. Bold eye ring easy to spot. 11:25am. Karen Fung NYC Sent from my iPhone -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http:

Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park (Saturday)

I birded the landfill Saturday afternoon and had at least four Vesper Sparrow along the drainage ditch in the SW portion while walking east between the main parking lot and RV parking lot. The exact number was hard to say, since the birds were skittish and rarely out in the open. Some were flushe

First, what a beautiful fall morning. The very tip (Teller's Point) had a really good flight of chickadees. I must have seen at least 30. Would ascend pretty high and then alight seemingly repeatedly so hard to estimate numbers but a lot. Not familiar with such a chickadee migration. Also blue h
