Hi Peter,
Eleven hearty souls braved morning snow squalls at Canarsie Pier. We enjoyed a chilly but productive day starting at the Pier, then we walked along the beach to Spring Creek inlet. Tom spotted a boat-tailed grackle and laughing gulls which were first of year for most of us. The rough-legged hawk continues above the landfill. Then onto Hendrix and a quick look thru the fence at Spring Creek. We finished up at Canarsie Park. The fresh water pond was not very active, 2 hooded mergansers and 1 wood duck. Down by Paerdergast Basin, Kristin found us a beautiful, near-breeding plumage Red-necked Grebe.
A big thanks to Mike for being registrar and to all our drivers.
Participants:
Bobbi Manian, Mike Yuan, Dennis Hrehowsik, Kristin Costello, Monica Berger, Tom Preston, Alie Ratay, Lynne Hertzog, Gina Goldstein, Nina Bai and Bob O'Neill
