Brooklyn Bridge Park to Red Hook April 19th


Thanks for a fun morning on the Brooklyn waterfront Mike!  Here's a closeup of the Red Necked Grebe that was maybe 20 feet away from us.Photo by Bobbi Manian

Great easy day with great company.  Some light southerly winds on Friday night got us hopeful for some migrants, but we struck out on passerines.  As weren't sure when we'd see a RN grebe again, we "soaked them in."

Thanks,
-Mike
