Mary and 11 BBC Trip participants
April 28, 2009
Today was the first walk of the BBC Centennial Spring weekday walks. We left from Bartel Pritchard with 10 birders. Two more caught up along the way. The park wasn't as active today as on Sunday (or at least the southern part wasn't). But several of us added a few new species to our year list. With the shift in the winds and weather, Thursday's Prospect walk, leaving from GAP at 7, could be really good. I apologize for the random order of the list. My usual listing tool has crashed!

April 19th: Classic Leader Centennial :Drier-Offerman Park to Floyd Bennett Field
Leader: Tom Preston
9 Brooklyn Bird Club members visited Dreier-Offerman Park and Floyd Bennett Field today. We had a good variety of early migrants and a few winter lingerers. Field and Savannah Sparrows were in good numbers at both locations, and there were plenty of both Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned kinglets. Other highlights at Dreier included 6 Glossy Ibis, Sapsucker, f. Hooded Merganser, at least 3 Am. Kestrels, Red-throated Loon, singing Brown Thrasher, 2 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers 2 Palm Warblers, and an early Chimney Swift seen only by Richard. At Floyd, 3 Blue-winged Teal were on the Return-a-Gift Pond, f. Purple Finch near the Community Gardens, 2 Brown Creepers near Ecology Village,and Ring-necked Pheasant was heard at 2 locations. - Tom
