Rain--soft falling , hard rain, cold rain, chilling rain--you name it made it a challenging Brooklyn Bird Club walk that didn't reveal anything special but wet birds for sure.
With migration at a stall from the inclement weather, there's always a hope for a good bird driven down by bad weather. That wasn't the case today for 5 intrepid birders hoping for that good bird. But nevertheless, it was fun getting out there and anticipating good birds in this short migration season.
