[nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park Lark etc
Inspired by the raptors at Shawangunk NWR last weekend and last night's snowfall, we spent a couple of mid-afternoon hours today at Croton P.P. It was quiet, the grassland featuring a lone Horned Lark flying around calling and then feeding on the snowy path. In the absence of ice, a single adult Bald Eagle perched on a piece of wood sticking out from the bay near the railroad bridge; it was buzzed by gulls and buzzed them in turn when it lifted off. Harbingers of season's change included two Grackles at the entrance feeder and a pair of Red-tailed Hawks mating, with the female subsequently tugging at some twigs near her perch. --Joe Wallace and Sharon AvRutick -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
