Windy Sunday local gems
Sunday with sunny weather still windy kept some birders local. Continuity is the word with a number of birds that seem comfortable here.
In Greenwood Cemetery, a few hilights of continuing species. Long staying Red headed Woodpecker likes it's comfort zone at the Hemlock Ave trees west of Battle Ave. Both Baltimore Oriole and Chipping Sparrow stuck close to the feeders and suet at Dellwater.
Speaking of feeders, the Pine warbler continues there at Prospect. A second Pine Warbler was reported in a Pine conifer near the Well Dr and west lake drive junction.
Last good bird to report ? A Cackling Goose on the Lake by the Peninsula, within the Canada Geese flock.
Me? I'm too tired today after yesterday's BBC windstorm trip to pursue these birds.

New years day in the nabe
A mixed bag of sightings on this first day of the year,but a good start mentally to enjoy life; A good way to love life all over again.
In lieu of reports online here's the summary of the best observations.
In Greenwood Cemetery starting in the Dellwater area, both Chipping Sparrow and Baltimore Oriole showed up. They may be common in migration and breeding season ,but in winter they're worthy chasing. The Chipping was seen at the feeder in Dell whereas both Orioles hung out in brush there.
In Prospect Park,feeder birds is the prize. Pine Warbler and 2 Purple Finches are notables.
Sticking to Prospect ,an Orange crowned Warbler was spotted sipping slippery elm sap Northwest of Lullwater ( boathouse) Bridge..
Lastly, for a little mentioned place, the Cemetery of the Evergreens host a Red headed Woodpecker, our second bird along with the one in Greenwood Cemetery that has been recently reported .
Happy New Year! 🎉

My golden year in 2025

| Photo by Steve Nanz |
Its hard to fanthom that fifty years birding have finally arrived. From my first spring in 1975 at age 14, A spectacular male Scarlet Tanager became my spark bird in the shadow of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in the Wallabout section of Brooklyn.
I remembered that Scarlet Tanager vividly. My mother - still with us- always fetched me to go to the backyard window to look at the bright bird. Most times it was a noisy Blue Jay. But on this particular mid May day, my eyes were mesmerized by the sight of the tanager on the ground. It was no doubt a divine gift a year after my fathers passing in 1974.
Through a lifetime of 50 years birding, I've met many great people and share and heard great stories,experienced tremendous moments ,primarily through the Brooklyn Bird Club that soon became my godsend, eventually becoming its president in the late 1990s,honored in leading the 2009 centennial celebration.
Time flew fast and we only have this moment. So it is with deep gratitude to all who met me and stopped for a conversation and talk about birds. I'll be grateful at my pace to appreciate all the wonderful moments,done multiple bird counts and countless field trips ,remembering past friends as well as current and new ones. But most of all I'll remember my very special bird my Scarlet Tanager setting me on my life's path.
