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!
