Peter et al,

we had a good inaugural Tues walk this morning with an enthusiastic group of birders including a lot of new faces as well as the Tuesday (ir)regulars :-)  Good numbers of Pines and Palms.  Also a still-juvenile (1st summer?) BCNH up in a tree and a juv bald eagle.  The 'rumps are coming, i can feel it!  Maybe Thursday????


for those on the walk, the list is below.  if you want me to share it to your eBird account (and i didn't already) drop me an email.

thanks to all who attended and made for a very nice morning!
Bobbi

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:

https://ebird.org/checklist/S78947463

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.
