Inwood Hill Park - White-winged Scoter continues - Mar 16, 2014

The male White-winged Scoter that I first found ten days ago continues to frequent the ship canal east of the Henry Hudson Bridge. It was sleeping there this morning.

Common Grackles are starting to appear in numbers. Despite some warm weather recently there is still considerable ice and snow on the main trail up through the "Clove". I saw a Brown Creeper this morning for my first of the year for Inwood.
