Thank you for rallying at the last minute and finding alternate routes and meeting places.
When I got home I phoned and texted the people I didn't see accounted for in the emails, and found that everyone had a way to get there.
It's a beautiful day, and I hope the birds are plentiful!

Hi Peter,
I'd like to say we were blown away by the birds in the park today....but.....we were just blown away....I also saw several small dogs flying through the air, which was a highlight.
That being said, it was a very nice, brisk, fall day, with a few good birds including several Golden-crowned Kinglets, lots of Yellow-rumps, a wigeon, a few Ruddy Duck and more. We ended up with 7 warbler sp, as well as a few sparrow sp including Field and quite a few Chipping Sparrows.
Here's the list.
Back in the Spring...
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter!
We had a fun day yesterday. There was only one car so only four people went: myself, Mike Yuan, and Bob and HJ Washburn. We went to Kissena Park and then the north and south ends of Jamaica Bay's east pond, and had a total of 79 species. Ebird checklist below. Highlights: Brown Thrasher and Gray-checked Thrush at Kissena; 3 American Avocet, Stilt Sandpiper, and Pectoral Sandpiper at the north end of east pond; 4 Long-billed Dowitcher (next to several Short-billed for excellent comparisons) at the south end.
Best,
Richard

Hi Peter,
Such a beautiful day today. Great Fall weather.
The birds were a bit clumpy, though. But eventually we had some good sightings.
I've never seen so many Palm Warblers, easily 100+ in the park. Also 30 or so Wood Duck in the pools area. Other highlights: Orange-crowned and Tennesse by the containers near the Well House; 15 species of warblers in all; a crazy purple-laced Mourning Cloak butterfly; 2 Prairie Warblers, a White-crowned Sparrow on the LeFrak, lots of Yellow-rumps and some White-throated Sparrows....
Here's the list. I'll send some photos later today or tomorrow, including that butterfly.
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,
today was the final Tuesday walk. We had a very good day, it was active (with warblers) all around the lake. But where are the sparrows??? We saw the green-winged teal and a very cute CARW with no tail, which gave us a start for a moment.
best,

Peter,
Best day of birding this fall with 65 species and 16 warblers. The highlight was a lark Sparrow found on the hammer head by John Dean. One more to go this season hoping more Sparrows make an appearance next week.

Hi Peter,
Wet....very wet....but actually also really birdy, especially at the southern end of the park. There seemed to be a very large flock of warblers, including maybe 20 Northern Parulas, that were slowly going South starting around the West Island area. Once they hit the lawn near the rink they turned around and streamed somewhere north, maybe to start the route again.
It was really a very nice Fall day, with lots of wild flowers, albeit a little cold. (one or two of our group may have suffered hypothermia...??!)
We had 17 species of warblers including Tennessee, Wilson's, Blackburnian, a Nashville on the LeFrak roof, 1 Pine, lots of Parulas, and the beginning of the Yellow-rumped invasion...Also a female Wigeon near the peninsula west of west island.
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
