We went on a Photography and birding trip. Tom led the group from the Linnaean Society of NY on April the 4th. About the trip: Better Bird Photography Workshop in Prospect Park – The Linnaean Society of New York. Here are a few of the birds that we saw.
I photographed this on the day we went to Coney Island Creek – Wikipedia.
I was surprised to hear that the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine (song) – Wikipedia was in Coney Island Creek, in the New York Harbor. Initially we drove out there to see the area and wildlife. I saw the Yellow Submarine on Google map and had to check it out. It is an old wreck that has nothing to do with the Beatles. It does have an interesting story. It was originally named Quester. Please read about the inventor and how it got there: Quester I – Wikipedia
After shopping at IKEA we went for a short walk nearby in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York.
DUMBO Hall and Jardin River and DUMBO Hall at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Odd things that I photographed.
Old Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park is a popular spot with photographers. I did a few long exposures. And I found a waterthrush there.
It was exciting to see three Marine Corps Ospreys fly around the New York harbor. They then landed in a fog of spray. We saw this from the promenade by the Harbor View Lawn in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
