Prospect had 57 species at orange crowned Warbler and red shouldered hawk the top birds;neighboring Greenwood cemetery despite having only 42 species boasted 6 saves including a very late black throated green warbler.

The Brooklyn Christmas Bird Count happened today and unofficially set a record species count of 135! Highlights are as followed:
-THREE separate Ash-Throated Flycatchers
-First Wild Turkey on the count
-Black-throated Green Warbler
-Short-eared Owl
-Lark Sparrow
-About a dozen Orange-crowned Warblers (record high)
-Unknown flock of dowitchers
-Virginia and Clapper Rails
Misses on the count included Tufted Titmouse (first ever I believe) and Brown-headed Cowbird. Gulling also was worse this year due to the warm weather. Thanks for everyone who participated!
