Jamaica Bay Refuge January 10 2021

Leader Ryan Goldberg              here is my eBird report from the BBC trip I led at Jamaica Bay on January 9:

It was cold and windy, but we had a hardy group of 10 birders, and the highlights were a Northern Pintail, Barn Owl, and an even tougher little Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the thickets along the West Pond trail. Most of the ducks had better sense than us and were sheltering along the protected edges of the ponds.
