While home with my post-op better half yesterday I got a shot of the northern mockingbird that's been hanging around most of the winter for suet and berries on the side of the house (wild grapes I think). Also wanted to mention the upcoming open house at CLSP dike 14 this coming Sunday, from 1-4, adjacent to Gordon Park/E.72nd st, from 1 to 4 pm, with guided walks at 1:30 and 2:30. You might need to register at the Park office, just East of the dike itself. It's being billed as a backyard bird count event as well as a winter photo safari, to be followed by an exhibition/contest at the park office in March.
