Mary Ann, I’m in Croton... the Croton Pt Park is really good for birdwatching, lots of eagles, turkey vultures and ospreys. The Riverwalk you mentioned gets killdeer families and cormorants. MaryFM
Activity 1; love the wall, have seen it in person a number of times, but this app lets us see the portraits even better. Really enjoyed the video of the artist creating the wall.
activity 2; at the feeder today, downy and red-breasted woodpeckers; blue jays and grackles; chickadees, titmouse (titmice?), goldfinches. >> REALLY excited — some months ago I couldn’t find a bird I’d seen in the eBird app — one of the eBird staffers even reached out to me about my dicey ID of a grosbeak that wasn’t normal for the area. In looking for heron shots (activity3), I found a photo of that mysterious bird and have sent it off — hope to get a name for the bird. Anyone know what it is?
Activity 3: favorite bird — our local great blue heron — love seeing it take off and fly away. Unfortunately saw one swallowing a long plastic landscaping ribbon yesterday. Rather afraid it’s a fatal gesture. Apologies for fuzzy photos.
