Thanks to all who joined the walk today...great spotting! We saw 22 species!
Full bird list is below.
I also uploaded some photos from today here (includes one of Cooper's Hawk).
Glad many of you had a chance to chat with Luisa & Angela from Nature Colombia! I'm so happy they could join us! Here is their site with info on their birding & nature tours: https://naturecolombia.com/
Our walk "rock star" was a Cooper's Hawk, which landed in a tree on the Brooklyn Heights promenade and was difficult to see, but soon after, treated us to direct overhead views at Pier 5! Other highlights were Northern Flicker, Bufflehead, Yellow-rumped Warbler and Swamp Sparrow!
If you don't have my book of photos and words on over 100 species of birds of Brooklyn Bridge Park, you can get it here or at Swallow Cafe on Atlantic Ave.
Makes a great gift!!!
Happy "almost spring" and I'll see you again soon!
