Clever man is a chicken; it can fly, but a little. Genius, on the other hand, is a migratory bird; it can fly at high altitudes until He disappears on the horizon!

Hi Peter-
17 participants enjoyed a gorgeous morning full of seeps, zeeps, and zips. Loads of birds around, many too quick to stay on as birds tend to be jumpy in the park early in the day. We chased the sunny spots, moving from the turtle pond on Pier 1 to the recent hotspot of the Quaking Aspens in the maze on Pier 3. Nice close looks at a Tennessee Warbler and a slightly early western Palm Warbler.
Chasing the light back at the Bridge Lawn on Pier 1, we noticed the Marine 1 helicopters at the lower Manhattan helipad, and tried to stake out a view of POTUS, but found out his schedule would have him arriving later. A Red breasted nuthatch tooting in the Vale was a nice treat.
Good variety with 36 species.
Mike
