Our walk was at Norman Levy Preserve in Merrick NY. We started off with perfect weather for a spring walk. Bright sunshine and little or no wind and cool temperatures. While we were doing our introductory circle we were visited by a couple of the resident Monk Parakeets

What a great morning for a walk. Twenty four people shoed up for our walk this morning at Robert Moses State Park. Mild temps and bright sunshine and moderate winds mad for a really enjoyable walk. We walked to the lighthouse and back to the parking lot. We saw 25 species of birds. there were a lot of Northern Mockingbirds.
On the way back to the parking lot we saw a lot of American Lady Butterflies on the pathway

Our walk today was impacted by the forecasted rain. The weather in the am was a very light rain. Jack and I, Ken, showed up just in case some folks had nothing better to do and wanted to try to sneak some birding in. Some folks did show up and we then decided to try to squeeze in some birding
We did some BBC, Birding By Car, through the Hecksher SP parking lots for and hour. We did get to see some of the regulars that frequent the puddles in the parking lots. We managed to see 21 of the local birds. Making the best of a dreary morning
