Project FeederWatch and Eagles!
My volunteer duties continue at the Croton Point Park Nature Center on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The regular visitors helped themselves to breakfast. One highlight was that the white throated sparrow now has friends. The junco flock has settled in. Eagles continue to land in the tree on the north point.
