Saturday slowdown occurred when I birded Prospect on a scouting walk for my upcoming Christmas bird count. There wasn't much to report. Maybe this is a good sign, as superstitious I am, next Saturday will be better. Meanwhile a few special birds were reported today.
For likely the best report, a Canvasback at the Brooklyn Army Terminal ,tops the day reported by Dennis H.
Then likely a flyover near there,a BALD EAGLE was reported over Greenwood Cemetery.
My walk can only mention notably the pair of Hooded Merganser s on Prospect Lake.
