Took the kids out to see the Statue of Liberty yesterday. Lots of fun riding the ferry out from NJ to Ellis Island and then to Liberty Island. Had a couple nice Red-throated Loons in the harbor, but the stars were the flocks of Brant everywhere. There were small groups of 40-75 birds all over Liberty Island and at the boat landing at Ellis Island. Kids were chasing them around like pigeons. Very attractive geese, at one point I watched a pair nibble on an algae-covered rock as they floated past us.
