Common Goldeneye: Golden Target Bird #2 in a celebratory year

Leader: Peter Dorosh

Participant Limit: 16

In 2025, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the leader’s birding journey, which began in 1975 with his first spark bird, the Scarlet Tanager. To commemorate this milestone, the theme of the year’s celebrations will focus on bird species named “golden,” along with all birds that continue to inspire joy and wonder. Throughout the year, seven “golden” bird species will be featured in various walks and trips, honoring nature, the outdoors, and the many birds that enrich our lives. This trip will spotlight the Common Goldeneye, a species commonly found in specific locations across the eastern U.S. Our journey will begin at Manhattan Beach, followed by stops at Floyd Bennett Field and Gravesend Bay, where we will continue to explore and celebrate the beauty of birdlife.

Note: Dress warmly for winter weather. If inclement weather occurs, the trip may get rescheduled to a later date. Keep watch on BBC Facebook, and Prospect Sightings for news updates.
