Hi Peter,
Thank you for leading a wonderful walk and tribute to Lenore's memory.
Here's my list. Let me know if you need any more info. I hope it is ok that I'm sending it as a pdf. That's how my software works. Note that I included the Merlin which only you and I saw before the start of the walk.
Not sure about the Bullock's vs Baltimore. Perhaps you can clarify. I saw the photos on eBird of the Bullock's at Stillwell and that one is a mature adult male.

Hi Peter
9 of us enjoyed a good birding day to the Eastern coast of Staten Island on Saturday. We had a great group, and saw some nice birds - 70 species in total.
Participants: Louis DeMarco, Barbara Schelkle, Amy Cook, Brian Foy, Michele Truong, Richard Payne, Tim Seguin, Annie T, Tom Preston (leader)
Locations visited: Conference House Park, Sprague Avenue Waterfront, North Mount Loretto - Snag Swamp, Wolfe;s Pond Park, Delete Avenue Marsh, Oakwood tidal marshes, New Creek Watershed and Staten Island University Hospital (Turkey Twitch!).
Highlights included:
- the lingering Wood Stork at the Snag Swamp in N Mount Loretto. The bird wasn't immediately obvious, but Barbara spotted it - for her 300th NY state bird
- an Orange-crowned warbler at the Lenape playground at Conference House Park, found by Michele
- a late Tennessee Warbler at the Oakwood water treatment plant
- Eastern Meadowlarks at two different locations, both spotted by Richard
- a flyover Pine Siskin was heard at Conference House Park.
I created an eBird trip list. It's at

Hi Peter-
We had a lovely final Migration Morning of the fall at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Within a few minutes of stepping onto the Harbor Lawn, 15 of us had 4 species of warbler feeding on the ground with the sparrows- Palm, Blackpoll, Pine, and Yellow-rumped.
Surprisingly, no Black-Crowned Night Herons roosting on the Long Pond, where we've seen up to 19 this season. A continuing, late Northern Waterthrush made up for their absence.
On Pier 3, a Tufted Titmouse greeted us, and we picked up one more warbler in the maze, a Nashville Warbler. On the lawn, we detected a Purple Finch by its gentle "pik" call and it gave brief views.
Great turnout this season, and we'll pick it up again next Spring!

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful day for sure! And as always with BBC walks, it was a great group. It was a relaxed walk, and while we didn't see as many sparrow species as I had hoped, we did have some nice birds, including 4 Eastern Meadowlarks, American Pipits, Purple Finches, and a Broad-winged Hawk.
Forrest graciously agreed to do the list, which I have attached and also listed below. As for photos, Barbara, Forrest, Marisa all took great photos, some of which they did enter into the checklist, but I'd be happy to ask them to send photos to you - let me know and I'll do so. (Only photo I managed to get was one of the BWHA, and it's not that great a shot 😡).
Thanks again for keeping me in mind for these walks. It's always a pleasure to lead a BBC walk, as the participants are always great!
Best regards,
Heydi

Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful Fall day in the park, with a good number of birds. Our "bird of the day" was going to be the Bobolink, first spotted by Rafael in the newly rejuvenated Sparrow Bowl. But that was outshined by an American Bittern across from the pink beach.
We ended up with 67 species including 15 species of warblers, Phila Vireo along with 2 other vireo species, and lots more.
Here's the list.
And everyone, please send a note to the Prospect Park Alliance telling them how important their restored habitat in the Sparrow Bowl is for our migrants.
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,
Here is a checklist from the club's first Sunday walk this past weekend: https://ebird.org/checklist/S197785991
We had a great turnout of 35 people and some excellent sightings along the way. Lots of sparrows and kinglets, a perched juvenile Cooper's Hawk in Arleen's pines, and a large flock of wood ducks on the Lullwater.
The first Sunday walk will be back in November with a 10 a.m. start time.

Hi Peter,
A beautiful day, a great group and, in the northern parts of the park, lots of birds. It became eirily quiet south of lookout. For me the most amazing location was the newly fenced in Sparrow Bowl. Wow, it was so birdy there and a great testament to the real benefits of good habitat.
Please thank Director Monaco for that newly refurbished habitat. I had three different conversations with her when she first joined about the destruction caused by the dog walkers and all of their many dogs. My goal had been just to get enforcement down there to try to protect what was left. But the newly grown, protected habitat, was fantastic.
Highlights were: Nashville, Chestnut-sided, Swamp Sparrow, Magnolia, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Indigo Bunting, Scarlet Tanager, Black-throated Green: all in that fenced in area or on the fence.
Other highlights: Olive-sided Flycatcher, Bald Eagle (spotted by our top raptor spotter, Lisa Curtiss), White-eyed Vireo in the Vale, Green-winged Teal and more: 67 species.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
