Starting with Prospect, a rare duck. Marc Brawer and Chris Laskowski spotted a hen CANVASBACK in the magical western section of Prospect Lake. First seen by the phragmites near Well Drive, it was observed moving along the west shore.When I followed up the tweet / text, I spotted in that general area from the rustic shelter with a few other birders. Getting closer, I didn't see it and I wondered where the heck it went. Moving along the shoreline, a duck flushed from my left and I be darned: the Canvasback was just mere feet from me! A terrific view of the bird in front of me was super.
Meanwhile at Bush Terminal Park, the rare full continues. GLAUCOUS GULL decides to stick around offering a number of birders good fortune seeing this very whitish bird.
Farther West at the Army Terminal pier 4 , not a full but a rare grebe. The pier seems to attract annually the RED NECKED GREBE ,with super vantage from the very long and wide pier.Marisa Would ,Kathy Toomey were some of the viewers.
Oh, that BLACK HEADED GULL still hangs around in Prospect Lake ,in magical western section as the Canvasback.
Super Sunday,yea.
KB note /PS> There is confirmed two BLACK-HEADED GULLs in north Kings. One is our Prospect bird that's assumed visiting Brooklyn Bridge Park, The other is an adult visiting mostly Bush Terminal Park. See Facebook Brooklyn Urban Birders group for the adult photo.
