Fwd: Brooklyn Bridge Park Wednesday Migration Morning Report

Time: 7:16–9:20 AM
Thirteen participants joined today's Brooklyn Bird Club Wednesday migration walk in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Although steady rain arrived about 20 minutes into the outing, the group persevered and was rewarded with a good mix of waterbirds, raptors, and early fall migrants.
Highlights included six Black-crowned Night Herons roosting over Long Pond, a Cooper's Hawk watching from atop the Pier 1 condo, a drab Cape May Warbler and a nice showing of warblers despite the weather. The group recorded 26 species in total.
The locusts and pagoda trees around the River Cafe and Luke's Lobster, a hotspot of recent days, was cold, but the group saw notable warblers by the other hotspot around the Squibb Bridge.
Back at it next Wednesday, hopefully in sunnier weather.
Mike
