The birds were flying around like crazy when I took these photos. There were so many chances for great photos of them swooping through the frame, yet I missed them by milliseconds. It was so bad I couldn’t even get a decent picture of a turkey. The damn bird kept turning away. His pics are at the bottom.

Here are two other sets of photos I took that day: Battery Place to Rector Street and Back and Battery Park

Walking though Marine Park is a soothing experience. I would say the main trail was close to two miles long. Half of the way is past tall grass with the salt water marsh/inlet on your right, moving toward Sheepshead Bay.

The trail soon swings left toward Far Rockaway, until you face the direction of Jamaica Bay. Shortly after you begin to head back, tall grass and flora are on both sides of you, and I guess Marine Park Golf Course is off somewhere to the right. Finally the trail swings in line with your car(or the bus stop) as you head toward *Spumoni Gardens on 86th street.

This is the first half of the photos I’m posting of Marine Park. Located at 3302 Avenue U (E. 33rd St. and Avenue U), its 530 acres of grassland and salt march make up Brooklyn’s largest park.
