A year or so ago, the cemetery undertook a project to identify all of the graves of the American Civil War veterans who are buried there. (Some died in the war, some survived and died later.) Now all of them have updated new headstones.
These baseballs were left at the base of a memorial to Henry Chadwick, "the father of baseball".
What's that on the top of the entrance gate to the cemetery?
Why, it's a monk parakeet nest! There has been a colony there for decades, actually.
The next few pictures show how the nest gets updated:
Finally, I have a pictures pictures from a different location - these are from a Jones Beach walk in early April:
