I had a great 4 hours of afternoon birding at Croton Point Park. After doing a full survey of all areas of the park and Croton Train Station, I saw 57 species and lots of individuals (unexpected for the middle of march). Highlights included ~100 Tree Swallows, a Peregrine Falcon, a Kestrel, American Pipits, a Meadowlark, a Screech Owl, 2 Fox Sparrows, 4 Wilson's Snipes, and ~9 Displaying American Woodcock in the late evening. The marsh side of the landfill has hosted a lot of bird activity recently. A full checklist is on eBird on westchester county alerts page. The weather could also not have been any better! Happy Spring Migration!! -Lewis Lolya --
