Following is the tally from the ASNV-sponsored September 30 bird walk at
Theodore Roosevelt Island, which identified approximately 19 species and
included five participants. Highlights included sightings of a Red-shouldered
Hawk, adroitly manipulating a stick in its bill for purposes unknown; a
Swainson's Thrush; a Northern Parula; and a plucky Carolina Wren facing off
with a Gray Catbird (the wren won). Regrettably, the walk did not include the
Swamp Trail which was closed due to earlier flooding.
