January 3rd Frosty beginnings Coney Island Winter Walk


Hi Peter, 

16 people showed up today and toughed it through some chilly 🥶 conditions. It was a fun day nonetheless. We mostly birded the pier and creek (east end) . The highlights were several hundred scooters scattered about, they were mainly Black Scooters but there were also some Surf mixed in. We had 11 duck species in total so we had a nice variety. We saw a few purple sandpipers. A special Thank you to Adelia for helping me and to Sameer for doing the list.
