Leader : Rob Jett
Here is the list from Saturday's trip to Coney Island. While the weather felt more like early-Spring than early-January, we still managed to see most of the expected winter coastal species. Highlights include dozens of NORTHERN GANNET diving for fish offshore, a pair of PURPLE SANDPIPER on the western-most jetty, a first year LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL on the sand spit at Coney Island Creek and a single SNOW GOOSE in the creek behind Mark Twain Junior High School:

First a Happy New Year from the Brooklyn Bird Club ! Good birds be your fortune in 2012
A terrific start for the Brooklyn Bird Club New Year's Day traditional walk in Prospect Park of recent years with several quality birds seen today. Most notably was GREEN HERON,a juvenile that was seen on the Brooklyn CBC, continuing its spotty showing till today, but in the same exact location in Phragmites reeds recess along south Breeze Hill shores.
Then there are the long time reliable warblers that delighted birds of late fall: BLACK&WHITE WARBLER , and ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. The B&W is sticking to same particular area, the south side of the Nethermead Bridge, either side of the watercourse. Several of my walk's birders and me saw it on the left slope of the bridge from the bridge top. The ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER was seen at Lamppost #249, by the Well Dr picnic tables where after a brief perch on a small tree, it flew across to the tall pine on the other side of the drive, feeding from the top downward.

October 31st Rockaway Inlet Parks: Fort Tilden, Riis Beach, Floyd Bennett
(trip was re-scheduled from October 30th due to Snow northeaster storm)
Leader Peter Dorosh
7 members attending
We enjoyed a fantastic day from my re-scheduled Brooklyn Bird Club walk from stormy Saturday with quality birds and a terrific sparrow list under strong windy northwest winds. Of the locales visited, Fort Tilden shone the most with quality sightings and numbers whereas Riis Beach golf course produced the best bird on our walk.On a day dominated by over flying blackbird flocks, mostly Red-winged Blackbirds, 67 species including 11 species sparrows and WESTERN KINGBIRD added a little drama.
Of the best sparrows, 2 LINCOLN's and VESPERS were most beneficial to my group. The two Lincoln's worked the chain link fence next to the Riis Golf course south entrance , by the Riis men's restroom. VESPERS , 3 total in the Tilden Community Garden on a courteous tip from Andrew Baksh, enabled us to see two of them , one cooperatively on the picket fence in close proximity. Also FIELD, & WHITE-CROWNED added to the day list.
A large flock of AMERICAN PIPIT , est at 60 was seen well on the Tilden Rugby / soccer field after an initial 12 on the little league field earlier.One Horned Lark was among them.
Best duck observance was the 300 + strong BLACK SCOTER flock with several SURF and fewer WHITE-WINGED, a good observation for my group seeing all three species at one time.The flock was near a jetty 700 feet east of the Fisherman's west lot.
A nice surprise, especially from where it took off, a WILSON's SNIPE on the busy car road from the turn after the little league fields, towards the beach. The snipe's takeoff certainly "spooked" us .
At lunchtime, a soaring RED-SHOULDERED HAWK delighted us, affording great views on this clear sunny day.
But best for us as we walked a circuit of the golf course counterclockwise, was the WESTERN KINGBIRD. As we rounded the last leg , along the north fence of the Riis golf course, facing the inlet, I noted a flying bird coming from the inlet side and landed & perched on a cherry right above us. All of us saw the bird quite well and low before it, after half a minute, flew into the Riis golf course..
I also heard second hand reports of NORTHERN GOSHAWK ( Steve Walter, later Rob Bate), & BALD EAGLE ( Walter). the former hanging around and working the abundant food sources throughout Tilden's habitats.
