Next Saturday the 19th is the Brooklyn Bird Xmas Count...a reminder if you intend to participate as a team member .
We may need more help with the north and west sections of Prospect Park, led by Paul Keim. For this area, call Paul at 718-875-1151.
A new area, (North Brooklyn as this blog covers as well) ,covered once in the past 10 years , not very birdy in terms of diversity but does have lots waterfowl should be covered for the Xmas count ; as i have noted on a BBC winter trip this past February 2009 ,38 species were recorded. I would be interested in anyone wanting to cover the spot between the Columbia Street Pier ( Erie Basin) , northward towards the Brooklyn Heights, including any parks between ( Red Hook Park for example, Fort Greene, IKEA, etc). If you know or are familiar with the north Brooklyn location, let me know and i would like to set up a team (minimum 2 members or more). If are willing to do a 1/2 day , that's fine; if you are willing to not let the low diversity of birds bother you, that's great too.
Please get back to me at Prosbird@aol.com asap.
