Long day. Here is the list for PP, and attached are photos of a Rusty Blackbird. After the Park, a meeting, and then made a quick visit to Fort Tilden, Breezy Point, Floyd Bennett (a circus is there, too many cars, people), and the final stop was Bush Terminal.  Lovely day, nice temperatures.  It is hard to believe that finally Spring is here.
