Myra and Noa Cruz, Vicki Seabrook, Bob DeCandido and I ventured out to Goose Creek Marsh in Pelham Bay Park, Bronx, very early this morning. On the way back we stopped at Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.
If you decide to go out to the marsh, high waders and lots of bug spray are recommended, the mosquitoes were wicked.
