Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
NYC naturalist Gabriel Willow will give a multimedia presentation about Pale Male and some of the other Red-tailed Hawks that have made an astonishing and inspiring comeback in the area over the past 30 years.
There were no breeding Red-tails in urban NYC & NJ in the 1980s, and now there are at least 50 pairs!
He'll also discuss the basics of raptor ID and conservation challenges as well.
