Leader : Tom Stephenson:
It was a very beautiful fall day but markedly unbirdy...however we were able to get a few good birds along the way during our Staten Island trip.
Highlights were 2 Brown Pelican, Clay-colored Sparrow, Meadowlark, 8 species of raptors including Bald Eagle and 3 species of falcon, Pine Siskin, and lots of yellow-rumps...
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
