Took a walk w/ my wife around the lake at Teatown Reserve in Westchester, mostly just to get out. Birding was extremely casual, as in whatever chose to present itself, rather than actively searching. Mostly, it was about enjoying the chorus of frogs and enjoying the beginning of spring. Some species I counted. Others were too numerous to bother with. Also, I was "lucky" enough to find a tick crawling on my arm. Just a heads up. It's that time of year again.
