Hi everyone.

Although there were a few moments when I thought PP might totally blow into the lake, we had a fun and birdy day today. We (including a couple of extra-curricular birds) had 78 species including 16 species of warblers. (I thought I heard Enrico mention 17 species, so let us know if I missed something (Magnolia?)).

Highlights were another Common Loon flyover, several nice sightings of Green Heron, Broad-winged Hawk seen by a few, lots of Warbling Vireos, White-eyed Vireo, Blue-winged, Prairie, Ovenbird, American Redstart, a very early Blackpoll, 3 thrush species, and great looks at several Orchard Orioles.  Toby had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Michele RD had Worm-eating (in the Vale) and Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

Here's the list. Let me know what I missed.

Best regards,

Tom

Hi Peter (and the group...)

As promised, here's the list of what we saw today.

Although it was cold enough for penguins to go flying by, we did survive and eventually found some birds that weren't frozen to death.

Highlights for the group were Prairie Warbler on the peninsula, Worm-eating Warbler by the sumacs near peninsula meadow, Yellow-throated Vireo on center drive and also in the sumacs, several really beautiful Blue-headed Vireos, and more.

54 species and 7 species of warblers (or 9 if we can count those from our extended family...)

Jennifer found a Prothonotary near the Quaker Cemetery on her way out, and Radka found an Ovenbird on her way out. So I don't know if we get to add those or not.

We also ran into a National Audubon group led by Martha Harbison. But don't worry, we scared all of the birds so they wouldn't see any....

Best regards,

Tom

Greetings, Peter

A group of 16 enjoyed a fine morning in Green-Wood. We recorded 45 species in all. No Yellow-throated Warbler today but a Yellow-throated Vireo substituted well in its stead. Also in yellow, the Evening Grosbeak above Sylvan Water. And we all enjoyed seeing Brooklyn's own Bald Eagle. Altogether a fine Spring day. 

Here is my eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S85843993

Hi Peter,

Well, after cancelling the walk last night, I revived it this AM as the forecast totally changed and in fact we had only some mild sprinkles towards the end.

About half the group showed up, so it was a nice size.

Highlights included 4 Common Loons flying over and calling right at the beginning of the walk.

Also, a Purple Finch male near the Vale, and the Cooper's Hawk seemed to be feeding his mate or young on the nest, and went to a tree about 100 feet away and collected some food it had stored there. Interesting!

Otherwise, mostly expected birds that have been in the park so far.

Here's the list. 

Best regards,

Tom

Peter et al,

we had a good inaugural Tues walk this morning with an enthusiastic group of birders including a lot of new faces as well as the Tuesday (ir)regulars :-)  Good numbers of Pines and Palms.  Also a still-juvenile (1st summer?) BCNH up in a tree and a juv bald eagle.  The 'rumps are coming, i can feel it!  Maybe Thursday????

for those on the walk, the list is below.  if you want me to share it to your eBird account (and i didn't already) drop me an email.

thanks to all who attended and made for a very nice morning!
