I realized on Saturday that I haven’t spend a real day birding in a long while.  I’ve been going after specific birds, but not doing a real walk counting birds for a long time.

So, I birded Randalls Island from end to end on Sunday to see what I could find.  Boy, did I feel rusty.  Looks like I’m going to be spending lots of time this winter doing long walks…
