I decided to spend the day birding in New York. While adding to my New York List was fun. I was after a very special bird. A Varied Thrush. I missed Varied Thrush on my trip out west last summer to the Pacific NW and I was happy for the opportunity to pick up and see the bird. Sadly my camera battery died before I could better pics but you can see several of the marks on the head in the picture below.
I got a real chance to see the birding culture of New York and I have to say that at least in Brooklyn, its very active and all the people I ran into were great! They took time to show me around and made sure I didn't get lost. I recommend saying hi to anyone with bins if you find yourself birding the park. I hope to go back again soon and enjoy their walks!
