"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson

Peter-
We had a lovely final spring outing of the season at Brooklyn Bridge Park, getting in a few hours before it heated up.
18 of us started at the mature locust trees under the Brooklyn Bridge, where a few BLACKPOLL WARBLERS and COMMON YELLOWTHROATS fed. On Pier 1, we heard unseen SWAINSON'S THRUSHES before finally getting good looks at a pair on the ground in the Vale.
On the condo path between Piers 1 and 2, we got more looks at ground birds on the path - OVENBIRD, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, and a saw a a CANADA WARBLER above us.
On Pier 3, we welcomed our summer residents - COMMON TERNS, and chanced upon a continuing late DARK-EYED JUNCO.
Great to bird with a dedicated group this season, and look forward to regrouping in September!
