Prospect Mar 22 late afternoon/early eve

Prospect's first of year GREAT EGRET came in, a bird I spotted along the northwest phagmite patch this afternoon. Seems like spring is slowly coming around.

Dennis Hrehowsik reported the RUSTY BLACKBIRD on Lookout's Switchback Trail in the early eve.

Adam spotted flyover juvenile RED-SHOULDERED HAWK over Quaker Ridge. It could be the same bird seen Wednesday.
