Jamaica Bay Late February

First we did a walk with Don Riepe at Jamaica Bay in New York City. There are two immature snow geese. Can you spot them?

After that we drove to Sunset Cove and Floyd Bennett Field.

The first two are mine from Upper Manhattan in early February. The rest Marc made in late February in Greenwich Village, New York City. I just got around to processing them today.

Snow and Ice

We had a few good snow falls from December to February. Marc made these photographs at Hudson River Park near us. There was lots of Ice on the Hudson in February. The last one is from our window by me. On that day there was 19 inches of snow in New York City.
