My Jan 28th Greenpoint walk

Last weekend I led a bird walk for a wonderful group of young , enthusiastic birders. The area is seeing more attention as a great place to live and as a result, more shore parks are coming into creation. ( The "G" train runs thru that area , from Park Slope). There are great Polish shops and food places....

Here's the link to the story in the community paper.
