We had a lovely final outing of the season, with the rain clearing and the sun rising right before our usual 7:15am start time.
We headed straight for Pier 3 after counting 5 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONs at their usual Long Pond roost on Pier 1. At the Pier 3 lawn, Ross Kruse spotted a distant raptor over the upper harbor, which thankfully continued towards us, revealing itself as a NORTHERN HARRIER. Rare for the park, with sightings in the single digits. Upon returning to the Pier 3 lawn after inspecting the concrete planting area, we spotted an EASTERN MEADOWLARK dwarfing the sparrows it fed with.
As always, a great morning with an eager group. Looking forward to Spring '26!
8 participants, 31 species
Thanks,
