Prospect Thursday Fall series Sept 29th

Results of today's LAST Thursday Fall Series walk, led by Tom Stephenson.


The Brooklyn Bird Club thanks Tom for his generous time and efforts

leading the Autumn Thursday walks.

Here's is Tom's note:

Hi Peter,


Well, as was the case of a few of our Fall walks this year, a day that started looking dreary and birdless eventually yield some great species.


Today we had 13 species of warblers including Yellow-breasted Chat (not really a warbler anymore...but...), Tennessee, Nashville, 2 Wilson's warblers, a Philadelphia Vireo, an Indigo Bunting,


Towhee, Pied-billed Grebe, and some sparrows...50 species in total.






Here's the list.

Tom

Hi Peter,

Well, we were a bit in the fog today, but thanks to Rob Bate's strategy of going to the southern end of the park, we eventually had a pretty good morning with 50 species including 14 warblers.

Highlights were several Spotted Sandpipers, several Green Heron, several Black-crowned Night-herons....Wilson's, Blackpoll, Pine, Tennessee, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Scarlet Tanager, Osprey and Lenore had a Peregrine...

So all in all a good outing.

Best regards,
Tom

Saturday, September 10th Prospect Park

Trip Leader: Tom Stephenson



Good group of about 13 people today.

We had a few good birds including several flycatchers sp, 16 species of warblers and some other stuff.

Best warblers were probably Tennessee pre Vale, fem Hooded on way out from Rick's place towards Nelly's lawn, and early Yellow-rump.

All buried by tons of American Redstarts.

Acadian, Least, Traill's sp, Pewee, Gr Crested, good for flycatchers...



Best regards,

Tom
