CROTON EAGLE SCOUT USES HIS EARS TO CREATE GARDEN MADE FOR BIRDS...LOHUD
CROTON-ON-HUDSON - A summer day finds Daniel Parker spotting seemingly every bird around — by their songs. “That’s a cardinal,” said Parker, 18, who was born blind. On cue, the red bird serenades again. “That one," he added, "right there."
Parker, of Croton-on-Hudson, stands in Croton Point Park near the Hudson River by his Eagle Scout project: A garden that’s something of a bird magnet. The recent Croton-Harmon High School graduate, who recognizes perhaps hundreds of migratory and nesting birds’ sounds, surveyed the birds in an area of the park last year and researched which native plants would draw them for rest, food and to breed.

and big screens, has died. He was 86. You can read more here http://cnn.it/1kJNYD7

Q: We lived in Croton from 1969 and left in August 1979 but return to visit family in the area often. We love how beautiful the village looks and can't believe how many flags there are everywhere, just like the old days, and that the diner is still there. We're so happy to see Holy Name of Mary is doing well too. Anyways, I went away to camp every July but August in Croton meant freedom to do almost anything I wanted. Speaking of this time, do you have anything for August in the 1970's?
A: Happy to oblige, courtesy as always of The Croton Historical Society.
