Phoebe-palooza in Greenwood Cemetery

I dropped by Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn in hopes of locating an item

dropped there yesterday (no luck.)  What I did find was an extraordinary

number of Eastern Phoebes around the Crescent Water -  I counted 30 around

the smallish pond.  In one small 6 foot high weeping birch (I think) there

were 8 perched Phoebes as well as a Pine Warbler.



Also present were at least 6 Palm Warblers, 10 Tree Swallows, 2 Northern

Rough-winged Swallows and perhaps 2 more Pine Warblers.  There was so much

activity it was difficult to get accurate counts - but it was hopping!
