Yellow and gold

Two of yesterdays gems continued through today with different locations their venues. Both Evening Grosbeak and Protho notary warbler hung around for birders to chase.

The yellow hue of Evening Grosbeak-two reported-captured eyes at Dongans Oak Monument. At this North perimeter of the zoo,birder Ant T refound the calling bird which stayed all day here,moving around and across East drive over the Tunnel Arch.

Now for the golden bird:the Prothonotary Warbler. Yesterday it was Upper Pool, today it was Binnen Run from Binnen Pool along this creek to Music Pagoda where it showed well. The bird moved farther downstream to Terrace Bridge if its the same Pronthonotary.

In other news, reports of more birds coming through focused on vireos and hermit thrushes. Both Blue headed and lesser numbered White eyed showed up in places. My friend Vinnie mentioned a note about hermit thrushes in various locales of Prospect.
