Nice to have waterfowl in your yard, but if you're in Brooklyn you can
see much more interesting ducks than mallards if you take a short trip
to Jamaica Bay.

Jamaica Bay IS Brooklyn. *I know that area intimately... wear a hat
lest the gulls shit on your head.http://www.brooklynbirdclub.org/jamaica.htm

Having did my doctoral research on tern reproductive success in the
NYC area, I can only concur- except that most of Jamaica Bay National
Wildlife Area lies within Queens county.
