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
