We attended a talk about winter birds in Jamaica Bay on February 15, 2005. It was presented by the Guardian of Jamaica Bay, Don Riepe – Littoral​ Society.

​The Jamaica Bay Guardian is the American Littoral Society’s eyes and ears on the waters of Jamaica Bay. Don Riepe, the Guardian, provides a voice for the Bay and the wildlife and people that live, work, and play in its waters, mudflats, beaches, and marshes. Established in 2002 the Jamaica Bay Guardian Program focuses on education, community engagement, advocacy and restoration. The Jamaica Bay Guardian also transports staff, biologists and naturalist to the marsh islands in the bay, where the Society leads restoration projects, removes marine debris from the bay, cares for its wildlife and looks out for its general health.

Don also led a tour of the ponds. We are members of the NY Littoral Society.
