From Mike Corzine:
Hey Peter! I was out for a short walk today. Of note were two Double- crested Cormorants on the lake. One on the buoy, the other swimming. A Great Egret flew over and landed on the Parade ground side of the lake. The Peninsula held several Grackles & R.W. Blackbirds and on my way out, a singing Goldfinch in breeding colors. All 4pm-ish. Also, as I write this, 7:30 pm, a Mockingbird has started, yet again, singing his car alarm tune in the courtyard outside my window...
Best,Michael
