5/2 Tuesday Bird Club Trip
We had a nice if rainy morning in the park, with an apparent migrational movement. We walked from the SW corner of the park across Lookout, and also checked out the Peninsula. Early on we had large number of catbirds up in the trees, which I interpreted as a recent influx. Other highlights included Chestnut Sided, Wilsons and Blackpoll warblers.

May 3rd Prospect Park
Leader : Rafael Campos
As the morning turned dark, rainy during periods, I arrived at Grand Army Plaza around 7:15 am, to lead the BBC bird walk. After a little while, about 14 persons where ready to face the elements, and have a nice time looking for birds around PP.
The rain made things a little slow, but the help of the keen ears of Tom Stevenson, we could heard a good number of species, despite most them were elusive to our eyes. One of them, a Hooded Warbler was heard around Midwood. We went thru the Vale of Cashemere, with a Northern Waterthrush the bird there. From there to the Midwood, where most of the warbler sps were seen/heard. Among them were Nashville, Northern Parula, Yellow-rumped (abundant despite the weather), Black-throated Blue, Blue-winged.
From the Midwood we continued along the Central Drive/Quaker Ridge, with no much, except a large flock of Chipping Sparrows in the Nethermead. By the time we arrived to Maryland Monument, a lonely Palm Warbler was seen, and the rain increased. But in the Peninsula meadow, a lonely White-crowned Sparrow was seen. Our final stop was the Wellhouse & lake, where we saw at least 4-5 Laughing Gulls, 1 Great Black-backed Gull.
I returned via the pools on my way home around 11:15 am.
The following is the list of the birds seen/heard:
Canada Goose
Mute Swan
Mallard
Double-crested Cormorant (a flock of ~5 flew over Vale)
Red-tailed Hawk
