OBSERVER: Rafael Campos R.
TIME: 1000-1230 hrs
Cold morning, breezy, but a hike thru Prospect Park was worth. All the open water was frozen, with a little open in the Lake. The most activity spot with multiple species of birds were the feeders at "Breezy Hill". Otherwise, the Lake was alive with several hundreds of Ring-billed Gulls. At least 3 Red-tailed Hawks seen today, one of them made a pass over the RBGUs, causing havoc amongh them.
