NY Is WET!

Yes, and she's been crossing off the days. lol

see much more interesting ducks than mallards if you take a short trip to Jamaica Bay.

Jamaica Bay IS Brooklyn. I know that area intimately... wear a hat lest the gulls s*it on your head.

the bay. That bird is now completely extinct. When I saw it that bird has just completed a migration from Europe. A big white bird with a droopy beak.

Beautiful to look at.

Having did my doctoral research on tern reproductive success in the NYC area, I can only concur- except that most of Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Area lies within Queens county.

Do you really believe that wildlife observes man made geographical borders? Actually that entire area is geographically part of Long Island. Long before that area was sanctioned by Congress (1972) it was my childhood playground, I roamed it all freely by foot and bicycle. In 1950 a seven year old could safely travel all of NYC and LI alone, day and night.

imagine. The question was not what the birds see. I also grew up on Long Island (in Queens) and rode and hiked all over as a kid.

And yes, Jamaica Bay- most of it- lies mainly in Queens County.
