Some of the Finest Brooklyn Birding!
One of the best bird watching places Brooklyn has to offer; Brooklyn Bridge Park constantly attracts a rich variety of songbirds, water birds, and birds of prey. Birdwatchers have counted at least 60 species of birds of songbirds at the park's cove--some passing through, some there for the season, and some dwelling in the region all year round. With the installation and growth of the upland and shoreline habitat along the park, it will almost outnumber Prospect Park as a major stopover for multiple bird species.
Mallards and Canada Geese swim in the cove throughout the year, joined in the winter by the Black Ducks of inland waters. In the winter the cove is visited by sea ducks and bay ducks. Other water birds and raptors that are frequently seen in the park include the Great Black-backed Gull, Herring Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Double-crested Cormorant, and the Peregrine Falcon.
