A baker's dozen of birders toured Prospect Park from breakfast until lunchtime. We tallied about 30 species in all. Among our highlights on an overcast day were the European Goldfinches, the Brown Creeper and the Great Cormorant. For a comprehensive list, please the Kathy T's ebird report.

Best regards, Ed

BBC post from Monica Berger

Hi Peter: Here is the trip list for the Pelham trip. There seemed to be three groups on the trip: BBC, Jack Rothman's City Island group, and, to our surprise, Bob DeCandido. The highlight of the Pelham walk were the good numbers of Goldeneyes as well as the two eagles spotted by Tom.

After Pelham, the group went on to Flushing Meadows to chase the clay-colored and lark sparrows as well as the cackling geese and we had a clean sweep of all three species! The cackling geese were super close and it was a special opportunity to absorb the ID.
