May 14th Prospect Park

Thursday walk
Led by Tom Stephenson + 14 members



The last weekday spring Brooklyn Bird Club field walk in Prospect took place this morning.Led By Tom Stephenson, some nice sightings were recorded under threatening skies .The Vale of Cashmere was active I was told and a nice sized group showed up. The list from Tom is below.


Hi Peter,

Despite the rain, we had a couple of good warbler flocks, especially in the Vale and then by the pools. Then the rain seemed to quiet everything down.
We had 15 species of warbler and 14 people...so even distribution.


Here's the list.

Tom
