[nysbirds-l] Croton Point: morning sightings & assistance sought
Morning spent birding at Croton Point Park in Westchester County offered some nice highlights including: 330+ Snow Geese on high flyover heading SE at 9:50 am, a Peregrine Falcon bathing in large puddle by ball field before entrance, large Am. Pipit flock (42 seen today) continuing on landfill, and 38+ Eastern Bluebirds including 32 in one flock together. However, the negative habitat effects from the severe and poorly-timed mowing of the landfill remains a disappointment. Responses off list are sought for technical and political assistance as Saw Mill River Audubon and other interested groups seek to work together in advocating for a management plan that recognizes Croton Point's significance as an Important Bird Area.
