There are still quite a few Rough-legged Hawks in the area and the Red-tailed Hawks are definitely paired up and feeling frisky. At Central Park Pond, there were very few waterfowl on the open water.

After having made a shorebird faux pas with the Baird’s Sandpiper, I had completely forgotten to mention some of the other birds seen at Freezout over the weekend. At Pond 1, a Whooper Swan was swimming no more than 15 feet from the parking area. We proceeded to the backside of Pond 5 where a …
