That, and 10 days back on the way was going to be a great to recharge the batteries after a long round-the-world trip. Out on one of the rocks that were visible during low tide, a small group of Harlequin Ducks had gathered. We got on their boat, a 45 foot Gulfstar in Bellingham, Washington, and went straight to Sucia Island.

We had persevered through four years at the top of Battery Harris Platform and could bring our experience to bear on the task of trying to record as many species as possible on a single day from that single spot. I had high hopes for the 5th Annual Queens County Bird Club Big Sit this past Saturday at Fort Tilden. Osprey are awesome.

We chose the Battery Harris Platform at Fort Tilden, along the barrier beaches of the Rockaway Pensinsula in Queens, because it affords a great view of both the bay and the ocean, as well as a wide expanse of dune scrub habitat. But what, exactly, is a Big Sit? The hawk flight was not large but we did see quite a few species of raptors.
