Focus: primarily Gulls, ducks, waterfowl species, and occasional songbird or shorebird here and there.
Itinerary: We will start first after a 5 block walk from the R train “Bay Ridge Ave” at American Veterans Memorial Pier, scour the jetty area here, then proceed eastward through Owls Head Park, Brooklyn Army Pier 4 (BAT4) and eventually to Bush Terminal Pier Park. If desiring to prolong the day, we could take the R train to Court Street for the walk through Brooklyn Bridge Park for the hardy birders.
Notes: Expect a good amount of walking, approximately 7 miles; bring a scope if you have one. The nearest train to the meeting spot is the R line at Bay Ridge Ave. We likely stop at a place to eat by the Lutheran Med Hospital area.
Access is by public transportation only; we will not be arranging car pools.
