American Pipits

Randalls Island has been discovered this winter by birders in New York City.  Easily visited by public transportation, this island between the Bronx, Manhattan and Queens offers an interesting variety of birds.

Today, I visited the island.  Thanks to the great birding skills of Ben Cacace, I got to see three American Pipits.  This is a new species for my life list.
