| Jamaica Bay Wildlife refuge is located on an island between Coney Island and JFK airport. It is operated by the National Parks system and is a nice oasis in the middle of New York City. |
 |
| Getting ready to go out and look at wildlife. Got binoculars and junior ranger hat! |
 |
| Trying to spot some birds |
 |
| There is a great view of Manhattan across the bay (zoomed in view below) |
 |
| You can see the Empire State Building and some other Manhattan buildings |
 |
| Taking a rest along the hiking trail |
 |
