March 20 sightings : the first day of weird spring beginning

Who would have thought of snow on the first spring day??

This spring date officially marks the 100th spring season of the Brooklyn Bird Club, founded on June 5th,1909. Hope you can celebrate with us.Check out our website http://www.brooklynbirdclub.org/ for the many celebratory field walks.

ThoughI wasnt able to bird much today, i was able to see an Eastern Phoebe on Center Drive, 4 Ringnecked Ducks on the Lake with Northern Shovelers, many Ruddy Ducks and a few Redtail Hawks ( south Lakeside and Boulder Bridge with Rob Jett)
