Subject: Prospect Park, Brooklyn, May 10, 2015
Compared with yesterday, today Prospect Park was amazing. The activity was quite low, and in little pockets. Seven species of Warblers, the best for me was a male Canada Warbler seen in the Peninsula. Still good numbers of Myrtle, and the Blackpolls are also increasing their presence in the Park; seen and heard all over. Other notables were Eastern Wood Pewee & Great Crested Flycatcher. Also saw the active nest of the hummingbird (see photos below). I saw a Red-eyed Vireo building a nest in the peninsula area.
