May 15th Prospect Park

Leading Dennis Hrehowsik

Peter,

Twenty birders met on a day where many birds were heard but tough to see with difficult lighting conditions. Notable were two cape may, raven flyover and eye level looks at bay breasted warbler on wellhouse drive. Quality birds were there to be found but you had to work for them.

Best 

Dennis

May 13th Prospect Park Tuesday walk

Leading Rob Bate, report from Bobbi Manian

76 sp!

thanks for a fun walk on a picture-perfect Spring day Rob!  Great looks at Bay-breasted, blackburnian, magnolias, canadas and 3-day old baby wood ducks.  (Though sadly there seem to be only 4 remaining.)   Monica spotted a Blue Grosbeak by the 'sora spot' and Phil got a brief glimpse of it, but it flew off before anyone else could get on it.  Overall we had 20 Sp warbler.

Best,

Bobbi

64 species.

May 10th International Bird Migration Day "Birdathon "

From Bobbi Manian, Birdathon BBC coordinator :

The 2014 Birdathon final results are in!  In total, 129 species were seen during the birdathon of which 104 were seen in Prospect Park by at least one of the teams.

In the final tally the Timberdoodlers netted the most birds in Brooklyn overall with 119.  The Prospect Pittas had the most birds in Prospect Park only with 92 species.

Final scores:

Timberdoodlers: 119   (Dennis Hrehowsik, Kristin Costello, Bobbi Manian) 

Prospect Pittas: 92   (Keir Randall and Linda Lam)

The Soft Targets: 83 (Mike Yuan, Bob Washburn, D. Eddie Davis, Trish Duffett,                                              Alie Rattay and Paige Linden) 

Wandering Warblers: 82 (Rob Bate, Tracy Meade, Janet Zinn and Alan Baratz)

The Red Tailed Hawkeyes: 79  (Chris Laskowski, Kathy Willens, Lili Taylor,                                                                        Kathy Toomey, and Benjamin Garron-Caine)

Common Loons: 74 (Daisy Paul, Peter Paul, Simon Tayler, and Celia Taylor)

Greenwood Cemetery: 65 (Janet Schumacher, Monica Berger and friends)

Intro to Birdwatching: 56 (Michele Dreger’s beginners walk)

Of note, the Common Loons and Intro to Birdwatching team lead by Michele Dreger were the only teams to find a mockingbird in Prospect Park.   The Red-tailed Hawkeyes found the only Thrasher and Worm-eating warbler of the day. And the Soft Targets found the only Bobolink singing at the north end of the park by GAP.  Over in Greenwood, the day’s only Kestrel and Olive-sided Flycatcher were noted on Janet’s walk.

Congratulations to all teams and thank you to all our sponsors!!!

From Chris Laskowski

Hi Bobbi,

I hope you have recovered from that long day of birding.  On behalf of all the Hawkeyes, we'd like to thank you for taking your time to organize such a great, fun and worthwhile event.  Well done!!

We all had a wonderful time and saw some amazing birds.  Some of our highlights -- we had great looks at a Blackburnian on the lull water,  near the bridge by the lake. (don't know what that one is called) it was at eye level for about 30 seconds about 15 feet away.  Also, while we had lunch in the Vale, we saw 3 Nashville, 1 Canada, 1 brilliant Balt Oriole male, Common Yellow throats plus numerous other birds taking a bath in the water.  Their feathers would get so wet you could hardly tell what species they where.  It was fun to watch.  

We birded lookout, the peninsula, the lull water, the ravine, mid wood, the vale and Ben and I made it to Greenwood after the rain. 

Here's what we saw (79 total -- 3 in Greenwood noted):

From Janet Schumacher  ( Greenwood cemetery walk)

High hillside above Sylvan Avenue, south of Sylvan Lake, was especially rich in quality warblers with easy viewing.  The possibly questionable olive-sided flycatcher was perched high up in the tallest evergreen above the newest burial area. (A favorite perch for merlins on past Christmas counts). Thanks to Monica for the eBird list.
