Registrar: Michelle Talich
Participants: 17
Weather: Clear, sunny, 51 degrees at 8:00 am going up to 68 degrees

We birded the fields near Aviator Sports, the north 40, the community gardens, the sea grass nursery, the waterfront at the end of Archery Road and the Eco Village. Our bird list includes a beautiful Northern Red Bishop, an African species believed to be an escaped pet. Observed at the Floyd Bennett Community gardens, people have been reporting it on eBird for weeks.
