The following photos were forwarded to me from Paul Keim, courtesy of Debbie Keim. The photos are from Paul's coworker who lives near LaGuardia Community College, which is right across the channel from Greenpoint , Brooklyn.. The big surprise outside his business shop door in Long Island City this past week. ( yes, I know , it's in Queens but who wouldn't want to see these photos ?)
The bird is , ( what does one expect from this unpredictable species turning up God knows where ?) is a VIRGINIA RAIL. So, before you leave for work, look before you step outside...There just might be a rail waiting for you.
