Our group of both long term and a few new Linnaean Society members set out to explore Prospect Park at 8:00AM, expertly guided by Bobbi Manian assisted by Brooklyn Bird Club President, Dennis Hrehowsik. Highlights were a Merlin, a couple of Ringed-Necked Ducks, an American Wigeon and numerous Wood Ducks, which nest in the park.
