From our most recent newsletter: The birds are back! Of course some never left, but many are flying north to their summer homes. Some of the weary travelers come down for a rest stop in Jamaica Bay; they waddle in the tall grass, eat a fish or two, and stare at the humans. We'll do our best to amuse them and ourselves in the only federal wildlife preserve in New York City. Bring a bag lunch and binoculars if you own a pair. Accessible by public transportation. Date of our last visit: April 9, 2005 Town: Queens State: NY
