Hi Peter,

It was a beautiful day, once again, in the park. And there were lots of birds everywhere. In addition, we were shadowed by the movie crew doing the Steve Buscemi-produced documentary on the park. They seemed excited about the footage, so hopefully we'll help bring more attention to how important the park is for migrating birds.

As for the list, we had 72 species, which is pretty good for Fall. We had 17 species of warblers, 7 sparrow species, and lots more. Highlights were the Dickcissel (by the ball fields), many Magnolia Warblers, a cooperative Tennessee, a well-behaved Nashville for those hardy enough to last to the end; 3 Common Ravens, 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos, 2 Brown Creepers, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Gray-cheeked Thrush, lots of Golden-crowned Kinglets, and more.

Here's the list. Thanks again to Ryan and Angie for co-leading.

Ryan, let us all know if I've missed anything.

Best regards,

Tom

Hey Peter,

We had a small but experienced group today and there was good activity around the south and east side of Lookout. Rain cut the walk short a little after 11, but we still managed over 50 species after a night of SW winds. 

The highlights for me were a quick Peregrine flyby after we entered the park, a Sharp-shinned Hawk flyover, a White-eyed Vireo at the Butterfly Meadow, and Cape May and Wilson's Warblers in the Wellhouse area. Thanks to Ed for picking out a Brown Thrasher at the Butterfly Meadow (a few got on it, though I only heard it) and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo too.

A few folks missed our group in the morning since they were waiting by the playground, whereas I recalled the meeting point being at the entrance to the park. But we linked up at the Peninsula Meadow before the rain and they had found lots of birds on a dogwood in the Vale. So everyone seemed happy.

Here's the checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S95295619

Best,

Ryan

Hi Peter,

OK. Bobbi threw down the gauntlet for the deadest day of Fall migration; and we're picking it up to compete!

In fact, we did have a great group, and no rain, and a nice, blustery day (with gale-force winds in the trees, sometimes....)  but not a lot of birds in the park.

That being said, we did have a couple of good ones including Winter Wren, Common Raven, several hummingbirds at the midwood touch-me-not spot, and 9 species of warblers.

Sadly, on the way out we found one tree with at least 9 lanternflies. We were able to kill several but some were high up on the tree.

Sara (new birder with super spotting skills) is sending me a GPS location for the tree and I'll forward it to Christian at PPA.

Here's the list.

Tom

Hi Peter,

well, it was a slow one today!  not many birds around and we worked for the ones we got.  That being said, we kept going for 7 hours... We started with 22 birders and 5 of us went for the duration.  Terry showed us a nice hummingbird/jewelweed hotspot in the midwood right off of Center behind the green containers.  at least 3 hummingbirds there.  We also had a tail-less Black-throated Green seen on the way in, and later later on the way out, pic attached.   Tom, can he migrate w/o tail, or does he have to stay in Brooklyn until it grows in?   

Ryan, you're up for the final 2 weeks.  Wishing you better birds next week!

Hi Peter,

It was a beautiful day, with a smattering of birds around the park. The numbers were down from last week, but there were some really good species. We never made it to the lake or even out onto the peninsula, so the list is a bit shy this week. Here are some of the hightlights:

Thanks to Eleanor for spotting the Red-necked Phalarope; really a great bird for the park. We also had Olive-sided and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, at least 5 Bay-breasted Warblers, Wilson's, Tennessee (Valerie), Worm-eating Warblers; and more.

The lifer for me was a walk that included a 7-week old. So many lifers....

Here's the list to post. See everyone next week.

Best regards,

Tom
