Prospect morning NYCAS; RTHA video

From Tom Stephenson.

Hi Peter,

Today we had a walk for NYC Audubon in the Park. It was actually really nice out, not too cold, and we just beat the rain.

Here's our list. Highlights were:
Red-necked Grebe near 3 sisters, Rusty Blackbird in ravine, Yellow-rumped Warbler in lullwater area, over 20 Wood Duck, nice pair of Ring-necked Ducks, Eastern Phoebe, at least 6 Hooded Mergansers....

Best regards,
Tom
