Back with an Update


Well, I've been away awhile, haven't I?

Just because I haven't been writing doesn't mean I haven't been birding. To prove my point, here are a bunch of photos.
  • All Over Queens, May 22 We took our NYSYBC Big Day on a second run, following the same route. Best bird: Worm-eating Warbler, Little Blue Heron. Total: 68 species, tying our count form 2015.

  • Nickerson Beach again, August 9 The terns had fledged and were learning how to fish. The skimmers had recently hatched and were very cute.
