I took this in photo in Prospect Park during one of the Brooklyn Bird Club's spring migration walks. I believe it was on a trail that cut through the Midwood, which is Brooklyn's oldest remaining forest. Often there are maybe a dozen people, but on this day the group just kept ballooning.
This image includes all different species of birder--young, old, novice, expert, Brooklynite, Manhattanite. But I particularly like that it captures a collective total enthusiasm for the task at hand. Shortly before I took this photo, someone spotted a yellow-billed Cuckoo; after the bird flew away, the crowd literally broke into applause.
