Birding on the North Side (of Manhattan)

Yesterday, I went to Inwood and Swindler Cove Parks with Ryan to try to find waders and shorebirds. We started at Muscota Marsh in Inwood, where there were Great Blue Herons, a Great Egret, an Eastern Kingbird and Song Sparrows. No shorebirds were there. We then went to Swindler Cove in which there was also a Great Blue Heron, kingbird, and several Song Sparrows, as well as some goldfinches. This didn't go as well as we hoped and I only added Great Blue Heron to my year list.
