At five-forty-five Sunday morning I started the eBird checklist while perched atop the Battery Harris Platform at Fort Tilden. It was the sixth year in a row of the Queens County Bird Club Big Sit, my favorite event of the year. Eventually, an Eastern Towhee che-winked and I had my first species for the day.

This is a chance to recharge out batteries, spend a little quite time together and try to get in a whole bunch of birding done. This allows me to see frigates, boobies, terns and pelicans on the saltwater side. In the same day, just a few meters up the arroyo, there is a plethora of desert species.

What that meant for me, birding wise, is that I could get out for a few hours in the morning and then get home and get to it on my laptop without having to worry about things like showering, getting dressing, or commuting. The first bird that came into view made me think. And this bird was way out over the water.
