REMINDER--12/11--THE WEEK THAT WON THE WAR--THE TRUE STORY OF THE FIRING ON THE VULTURE
The Week That Won the War: The True Story of the Firing on The Vulture
On September 22,1780 a cannonade was fired from Croton Point (then Tellers Point) on the British ship The Vulture. This action stranded British spymaster Major John André, leading to his capture and thwarting Benedict Arnold’s plan to hand West Point over to the British. The story of The Vulture’s arrival in Haverstraw Bay on September 17 until she retreated downstream on September 22, involved privileged “white flag” communications, missed meetings, and a false flag offense by Americans—violating the customs of war. The dramatic week ended with success due to the persistence of an American colonel, who set in motion one of the most dramatic events in the Revolutionary War.
This presentation by Char Weigel, VP of Special Projects for Revolutionary Westchester 250, and Marc Cheshire, Croton Village Historian, is based on new primary source research.
Thursday, December 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Croton Free Library.

ICYMI---CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
Community science is vital to helping researchers and scientists understand bird populations. Along with contributing to eBird, joining a bird count can be a fun, helpful, and insightful opportunity to connect with the birds and birding community near you. The Christmas Bird Count is organized by Audubon and takes place annually from December 14 to January 5.
To find an event near you, we recommend connecting with your local birding organization, association, or club—such as Christmas Bird Counts with Buffalo Ornithological Society.
How to Participate
Find a Circle: Use the National Audubon Society's interactive map to find a count circle near you in the Hudson Valley.
Contact the Compiler: Each circle has a compiler who manages participants and assigns routes or areas. You must arrange participation with them in advance. Their contact information is available on the Audubon map or through local Audubon society websites like the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) calendar.
Join a Team or Count from Home: Compilers will place new participants with an experienced group, or if your home is within a count circle, you may be able to count birds from your feeder (with prior arrangement).
No Experience Necessary: All skill levels are welcome, and it is a family-friendly community science project.
