Hello, Peter

On this sunny, almost October day our peregrinations yielded 58 species, incorporating departing migrants, arriving migrants and year-round residents and including 16 warbler species. Highlights included a couple of cooperative Cape Mays, a shy Winter Wren, a Lincoln's Sparrow and a Gray-cheeked Thrush.

Best regards, Ed

Hi Peter,  60 sp doesn't sound like much but we had a great day and were out for over 7.5 hours!   The bird of the day was a Least Bittern found by Isabel along the lullwater.  We also hooded warbler at the 'hummingbird nursery' and a nice blackburnian by 3 sisters.   We also saw a Cooper's being harassed by a Sharpie (check my pics to be sure!).  attached a few pics.

exhausted but happy!

best,
Bobbi

Thank you for joining me at Brooklyn Bridge Park today! While we just missed a series of heavy migration days by one day, there were still enough lingering birds to capture our attention.

We stayed at the pollinator garden on Pier 6 just long enough to see the sun hit the tops of the trees and give us a taste of the warblers that we would encounter throughout the park - American Redstarts, Northern Parulas, and pair of Yellow Warbers. On Pier 3, the stand of birch trees near the maze attracted a variety of additional migrants - Black-throated Blue (female), Black-and-white Warbler, and for some, a Tennessee Warbler. One of our first sparrow migrants, a Savannah Sparrow, showed well on the Pier 3 field.

The Brooklyn Bridge Park gardeners are proud of the jewelweed plantings by the Pier 1 Long Pond that have attracted Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in late summer. Amazingly, one hummer zoomed in to feed on the flowers the minute the group walked onto the adjacent bridge, and it stayed for a few minutes to offer excellent views. 

See you out there soon!

Fwd:BBC Thursday Walk 9/30/21

Led by Tom S.

21 species warblers on a good northerly wind!

---------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Tom Stephenson <


Hi Peter,
It was a really beautiful day today in the park. And, especially in the north end, very birdy. There clearly was a good flight into the park last night.
Below is the list.
Highlights included Great Cormorant (!), 21 species of warblers including Bay-breasted, a couple of Tennessee, Prairie, Blackpoll, Pine, Palm, and lots of Redstarts and Northern Paruuuulas...., and 2 or 3 Gray-cheeked Thrushes.

One highlight was Michele finding a Connecticut Warbler on the peninsula, not far from the shelter. She had a brief look and we couldn't re-find it but later Kathy Toomey did find it again in the same area.

Here's the list.

Tom

Hi Peter,

a REALLY good day of birding.  i was worried we'd have to cancel due to rain, but it had all passed by start time. (did you get a Tornado wanring at 4 am?  I did!!!)

i can't say anything new blew in, and we didnt' have a high warbler count (12sp) but there were birds EVERYWHERE.  we never had to look far to see activity.   tanagers, orioles, yellow throated vireo, etc.

somehow a CRAWDAD had gotten out of the water by Binnen Bridge and a woman and her son were trying to rescue it w/ a stick.  Bob O'Neil retrieved some thick paper and scooped it up (it was fighting-angry!!!) and deposited it back in the binnen.  Hero of the day!

here's a few pics..

First: I promised to send out the list from the Sept 1 Thursday walk today, but I don't know exactly who was on the  walk (or their email names) so I'm sending this out to the old Thursday list, when we had to register. Please let me know if you'd like to be off the list!
And if I've missed someone you know (Maybe Michael isn't on this?) please feel free to forward.

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful day today, with a strong enough breeze to combat any heat other than in the most exposed spots.
There were a lot of birds in the park, many very early in the season for that species.

Highlights:  On the raptor front, Bald Eagle (probably 5th year bird, still a subadult), Black and Turkey Vultures.
On the flycatcher front: 7 species including Olive-sided, Yellow-bellied, Acadian and Least.
On the warbler front (lots of fronts...) Prairie, a very early Blackpoll, Nashville; 13 species total
Other notables: Winter Wren, Gray-cheeked Thrush (very early???), and Pied-billed Grebe.

Here's the list.
Everyone, please let us know if I've missed anything.

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful day today, with a strong enough breeze to combat any heat other than in the most exposed spots.
There were a lot of birds in the park, many very early in the season for that species.

Highlights:  On the raptor front, Bald Eagle (probably 5th year bird, still a subadult), Black and Turkey Vultures.
On the flycatcher front: 7 species including Olive-sided, Yellow-bellied, Acadian and Least.
On the warbler front (lots of fronts...) Prairie, a very early Blackpoll, Nashville; 13 species total
Other notables: Winter Wren, Gray-cheeked Thrush (very early???), and Pied-billed Grebe.

Here's the list.
Everyone, please let us know if I've missed anything.

Best regards,
Tom
