Bird-watching at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge – May 19th, 2012

I spent Saturday bird-watching and exploring Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens. It’s a beautiful protected bird sanctuary not far below JFK International Airport. It is owned and run by the National Park Service. It took about an hour and a half to reach from Manhattan by subway and bus but was worth the trip!
