I got rightly dragged but also heard from the finder of the bird, Jen Kepler, that the bird was indeed real, and really was at Big Egg Marsh. Unfortunately, we were heading south on Woodhaven Boulevard along with at least half of the population of New York City. None of them did. I might have been digiscoping like crazy.

After over two hours at Jamaica Bay I headed to Big Egg Marsh for high tide and a bunch of shorebirds. Still, any day in New York City with 124 species is a day well worth experiencing! It is annoying that the only game bird you can see in Queens are an introduced species. This was one of many at Alley Pond Park.

With a hardiness that belies their delicate looks (but helps explain their phenomenal success), these pioneering pigeons are already sitting on eggs at at least one location in Montana. Or, to be perfectly honest, playing games on Facebook, but let’s not talk about that. Nicole: Glad you liked it!
