Hi Peter,
It was a beautiful Fall day in the park, with a good number of birds. Our "bird of the day" was going to be the Bobolink, first spotted by Rafael in the newly rejuvenated Sparrow Bowl. But that was outshined by an American Bittern across from the pink beach. 
We ended up with 67 species including 15 species of warblers, Phila Vireo along with 2 other vireo species, and lots more.
Here's the list.

And everyone, please send a note to the Prospect Park Alliance telling them how important their restored habitat in the Sparrow Bowl is for our migrants.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Peter,

Here is a checklist from the club's first Sunday walk this past weekend: https://ebird.org/checklist/S197785991

We had a great turnout of 35 people and some excellent sightings along the way. Lots of sparrows and kinglets, a perched juvenile Cooper's Hawk in Arleen's pines, and a large flock of wood ducks on the Lullwater. 

The first Sunday walk will be back in November with a 10 a.m. start time.

Hi Peter,
A beautiful day, a great group and, in the northern parts of the park, lots of birds. It became eirily quiet south of lookout. For me the most amazing location was the newly fenced in Sparrow Bowl. Wow, it was so birdy there and a great testament to the real benefits of good habitat.
Please thank Director Monaco for that newly refurbished habitat. I had three different conversations with her when she first joined about the destruction caused by the dog walkers and all of their many dogs. My goal had been just to get enforcement down there to try to protect what was left. But the newly grown, protected habitat, was fantastic.

Highlights were: Nashville, Chestnut-sided, Swamp Sparrow, Magnolia, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Indigo Bunting, Scarlet Tanager, Black-throated Green: all in that fenced in area or on the fence.

Other highlights: Olive-sided Flycatcher, Bald Eagle (spotted by our top raptor spotter, Lisa Curtiss), White-eyed Vireo in the Vale, Green-winged Teal and more: 67 species.

Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
