| Tired of being kept indoors by the cold, I ventured out yesterday to look at this new Brooklyn park. It was pretty darned cold, about 25 F, and I didn't stay long. Click here for information about and directions to the park. Click here for a great place to have lunch while you are there. |
 |
| The park is surrounded by industrial waterfront buildings from an earlier age. Click to enlarge the photos. |
 |
| In the park, a flock of cold-looking ring-billed gulls, Larus delawarensis, were standing on the ice. |
 |
| More cold-looking gulls hunkered down on the rocks. |
 |
| The rocks by the shore were icy. |
 |
| A few Canada geese, Branta canadensis, were walking through the dry grass. |
 |
| A pair of American wigeons (Anas penelope) swam by. The male is on the left and the female on the right. |
 |
| A few rafts of bufflehead ducks (Bucephala albeola) swam offshore. |
 |
| One of the buffleheads caught an arthropod snack! |
 |
| Closer! |
