The trips planning is in progress for the BBC and new locations are always an exciting adventure for discovery.
This coming September ( Labor day weekend Sunday proposed), Governors Island would be ideal for a casual birding stroll.
If anyone is interested in leading a morning walk,please email me.
Here's a link to a typical birding day around that time .

The ferry runs to the end of September. A ferry leaves from Brooklyn BRidge park perhaps as well combining the bridge park for later birding after the island
Ideal would be take the earliest Manhattan ferry then depart for Brooklyn pier 6 after island exploration
