Good record
Just saw a bunch of these in Orlando. Would not have known they were at Floyd Bennett. I wonder if that is a county record. I know they have been recorded on S.I. and Manhattan.

I think that it has been seen
I think that it has been seen before at FBF, as well as Jamaica Bay Refuge in Queens. I was impressed by the condition of this individual. Wonder where it was born. I always expected one of these up here to look pretty worn.
