Actually tons of passenger pidgeon,  and yes California condor. Though the best I found was the claw from a great horned owl..  best mammal bone was a tooth from a domestic dog aged 6500 years old

I'm a history buff, esp within NYS, so this "stuff" is fascinating!! Kudos to you for playing in the dirt to reveal the findings!
