March 14th,2009 Spring Creek Region
Leader : Steve Nanz
A total of 14 people went on the trip today. We started out at the inlet by Fountain Ave.
Lee (Shelley) was concerned about having too many people at the Pennsylvania Ave Landfill
so we broke into two groups. This worked out fine.
Jerry (Layton) led the group at the landfill and I led the other group and went to Spring Creek
and Big Egg Marsh. We reunited at Fort Tilden for lunch. We went the the fisherman's
parking lot afterward to check out seabirds. Star Saphire was there by herself and
she joined our group. We finished the day by going to Floyd Bennett.
We had a really nice time. Highlights included: Wilson's Snipe and American Pipet at the landfill,
(22) Ruddy Turnstones at Waterfront Tribute Park at Beach 116th St in the Rockaways,
and all three scoters and a Lesser Black-backed Gull at Fort Tilden.
Those who went with Jerry's group were very pleased. The people at the landfill were extremely nice and accommodating.
I made two lists because I know that Lee was interested in what we saw.

We missed the Barrows and Ross's at Jamaica, and the Killdeer I'd seen yesterday at Drier, but we enjoyed the great weather and the great birding in Brooklyn!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Brooklyn Bird Club Valentine's Day Walk. We had a relatively calm (and not too cold) day, and may be seeing the first early signs of migration. Highlights included Pine Siskin and female Purple Finch at the Vail of Cashmere, Coopers Hawk near the Breeze Hill Feeders, Sharp-Shinned Hawk over Lookout Hill, and Merlin over the Long Meadow. There was a significant increase in Ruddy Ducks on the Lake, which is now mostly free of ice. Scott
