From Rob Jett
There was a flock of 6 Purple Finches near the 3rd Street pathway that
leads onto the east side of the Long Meadow. It was just after sunrise
and one of three males was singing. Also, while trying to photograph a
kestrel at Grand Army Plaza on Tuesday from approximately 5:30PM to
6:00PM, I observed three separate flocks of Cedar Waxwings flying into
the park. There was a total of about 30 birds.
