10,000 Birds

JANUARY 4, 2017

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. This was a real bonus spot last year, especially with migratory sparrows. Then, I try to you avoid the bad parts.

At five-forty-five Sunday morning I started the eBird checklist while perched atop the Battery Harris Platform at Fort Tilden. Using this trick we added Field Sparrow (new to the list!) and Lincoln’s Sparrow. Then Matthieu pointed out the Brown Pelican flying by over the ocean and all hell broke loose!
