You love it. We love it. It’s WEIRD DUCK TIME!

Join Alyssa, Jen, and Martha of FBC NYC as we visit Baisley Pond Park in Queens, one of the only places in NYC where the discerning birder can find that most delightful of winter duck visitor, the Redhead.

For whatever reason, a flock of these gorgeous ducks congregate in this former glacial basin alongside Ring-necked Duck, Northern Shoveler, Pied-billed Grebe, and other aquatic delights. Plus if we’re lucky we might encounter Monk Parakeet, Brown Creeper, Cooper’s Hawk, and other late-fall NYC regulars.

One of these years we will not laugh hysterically when the Gadwall say “hey,” but chances are good that this will not be that year.

Accessibility: Baisley Pond is very flat and nearly all of the surfaces we would use are paved. Some walking over grass possible, especially to look at sparrows hiding in the phragmites along the pond edge. Benches scattered throughout, although sometimes quite far apart. Public restrooms theoretically available, but in the past it’s been hit or miss if the building is actually open.
