Hi Everyone -- 

Another memorable BBC trip.  Despite the wind, we survived and surprisingly saw a fair number of birds and ducks although the birds were probably hiding in the bush.  Below are the lists for each area.  I'll be in-putting the list into my eBird so if you want me to send you an invite let me know where to send it (although I assume it might just be your email address).  

Glad to have had your company and visits to several places unfamiliar -- the new section of Shirley Chisolm and Hendricks Creek.  Thanks for all the scopes, too, which helped me to see the ducks that were too far out.  A closer look gives up the beauty of their feathers.

If I forgot anything or the numbers are incorrect or you can help fill them in, let me know.

Hi Peter,

Lots of fun! Not a big list but it was a nice day and we all got close views of Black-headed Gull and Horned Lark and several saw Razorbills. But the highlight had to be seeing over 2500 Gannets between Breezy Point Tip and Coney Island with some flying directly over our heads. There were also Black Scoters up close to the shoreline at Breezy and several thousand in the distance maybe half way to Sandy Hook, NJ.
