Well, I finally got around getting the darn Boid...
After over two weeks hearing and reading about that trumpeter swan in upper East River , specifically Greenpoint and Williamsburgh,I figure that I didn't want to torture myself any long for an easy new county bird. So I hopped aboard the F train. The G would've been easier for me but it stops at Court Square with ongoing weekend track maintenance. So it was the F train the long way into NYC then the L train to Bedford Ave;then a long walk.
When I arrived at the North 5th St Pier, I really got lucky.The trumpeter was immediate and on spot..count my lucky stars!
It stuck with a Mute Swan staying close adjacent to the ferry Pier and settling in by the beach with extremely close observation..
It's not often I get after a long birding career a new county life bird.
