35. Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge

Take the train out of Manhattan for an undisturbed afternoon of birdwatching. Birdwatching, you say? In Brooklyn? It's true. At the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, composed of more than 9,000 acres of marshland at the Brooklyn-Queens border, you can observe the mating ritual of the American Woodcock, catch the migrations of hawks and waterfowl, and search for the Great Egret or Glossy Ibis.
