Heather Wolf,nee of Brooklyn Bridge Park found two RED NECKED GREBE off the Fairway ( supermarket ) pier in Red Hook yesterday Dec 22nd. ( Noted on Cornell Ebird)
I've gotten this species in the past there. Only public transportation to that area is the B61 stopping at IKEA,then a few blocks down unless the bus ends near Van Brunt Street
Check the MTA BUS MAP.
