A short ride to Greenwood

Just looking to get out for a short spell while nursing a muscle hip strain, I wanted to get the Philadelphia Vireo at the Caitland Grave . It turns out something different .

When I arrived unsure where that vireo was, I ran into Dom, a friend from the Linannean Society . It turns out he had spotted a Connecticut Warbler under the tree just behind the Caitland Grave.And he had a great photo of it. Me, I lucked out again and not even the vireo either. But it was a good time talking to Dom and Ryan M who came along. 

There was another Connecticut report at the Dellwater but by then it was getting too hot.

Meanwhile a Philadelphia Vireo was reported at Prospects north lull water cove trail, seen eating berries across from the Rustic Arbor..

Oh well there's always next time.

Hi Peter,

Good seeing you in the park today. You may have been the bird-of-the-day for what turned out to be, possibly, another record-breaking slow day!  

Actually, that was probably the Blackburnian Warbler, but otherwise fairly quiet. We did get diverted from what would, no doubt, have been a number of more species at the south end when someone reported a Mourning Warbler at the Vale. However, as often happens with chases, it didn't show up....

Here's the list.

Best regards,

Good morning at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Thankfully the rain held off and we enjoyed a fabulously sunny morning.

The most cooperative MARSH WREN gave us all the looks we could hope for on the Pier 1 marsh mudflat, feeding on the flat and posing on the rocks.

The japanese pagoda tree, a late-summer flowerer, continues to be a hotspot off Squibb bridge. Terrific close looks at warblers from above - a pair of BLACKPOLLS, NORTHERN PARULA, and a TENNESSEE WARBLER which seems to have stuck around for a few days.

10 participants, 31.5 species (one brief look at a Catharus thrush)

Hi Peter,

Our Tuesday walk wasn't as active as last week's, but it was still interesting to notice some changes in migration over the last week. We had our first migrating raptors of the season, three Sharp-shinned and two Cooper's Hawks, heading SW over Lookout and the lake in the morning. The side-by-side comparisons were instructive. Our warbler count was 11 species, and a female Hooded Warbler in the sumac grove was the major highlight. And there was also a Gadwall on the lake.

We saw or heard 48 species. Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S273754002.

We'll be back next Tuesday. Thank you to Megan, Angie, and Sheila for co-leading and all the folks who joined us.

Hi Peter,

It was another beautiful day, this time a bit birdier than last week! 

Athough there was a lot of activity, there still weren't an abundance of species, although 58 species with 14 species of warblers isn't too bad. Unlike last week, when the bird-of-the-day was either a fungus or a hornet, this week we had more to choose from including Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Sharp-shinned Hawk hunting, and several Red-breasted Nuthatches.

Here's the list.

Best regards,

Tom
