Birding at the Naval Cemetery Landscape – Brooklyn Bird Club TOMORROW OCT 5.

Supported by the club in last Mays birdsthon Brooklyn Greenway Initiative


"BIRDING AT THE NAVAL CEMETERY LANDSCAPE
OCTOBER 5 @ 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Leaders: Dennis Hrehowsik, birder (BBC) and A Rossi, Director of Horticulture (BGI)

Focus: Explore this native pollinator meadow and memorial landscape. The walk will focus primarily on late migrating birds with an introduction to the site and how plant selection and management support the bird population here. This event will be at the Naval Cemetery Landscape (NCL).  Stop by and enjoy the NCL's native pollinator habitat and contemplative memorial urban meadow and learn about the NCL and the Greenway and what goes into maintaining their beauty and accessibility for every visitor, especially the many species of birds for which they intentionally cultivate habitat and resources.

This Naval Cemetery Landscape is managed by the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative, and was a recipient of funding from the Brooklyn Bird Club's 2025 Birdathon event.

BYOB- bring your own binoculars!

This event is free but please make sure to register/get a ticket for each attending member. As a nature observation event we will be limiting the number of participants.

When I arrived after work, this bird was not out in the open, but thankfully Casey was able to get me on it for just a few seconds as it was waking back into the deepest part of the phragmites, showing at least its chicken-y walk and the ochre-and-black stripes on its back. Found earlier by Tsuh Yang. I lingered for a half hour to see if it would come back out to have its photo taken, but it remained, for now, a rail."

- Comments: "*rare in Brooklyn, and in fact my first in the county - seemingly significantly rarer than sora as a migrant through NYC; probably more regular than clapper rail though, which we all take for granted because it nests in the Jamaica Bay watershed. Continuing at the wellhouse phrags, a much-beloved time suck of a stakeout spot for skulky marsh birds; thanks to Alan for summoning us to converge after he refound the bird. A shockingly small Rallus, barely larger than the brown rat occupying the same area; mostly appeared dark in the shadows, with darker stripes on the mantle. Once or twice turned and revealed a long, downcurved bill. In the fading light it looked surprisingly picturesque among the Phragmites, as though it were a Bronx Zoo diorama come to life. After a minute or two it slunk away into the phrags and out of view."

Hi Peter,
It was a really beautiful Fall day with a very large, enthusiastic group and, although very spotty, a good number of birds. We saw 74 species including 14 species of warblers. Highlights were ducks including a Ring-necked and a Green-winged Teal spotted by mystery birder M; raptors including a Kestrel, and migrating sharpie and cooper's; and a very cooperative Prairie Warbler.

Situation was similar to the time we saw a Mississippi Kite just as we were talking about how much we wanted to see a Kite. This time, giddy about the absurdity of the situation, we took some photos as the bird chased a few bugs, sat up in the tree once, and then walked around under the tree (coming into the open on foot several times). Behavior-wise the bird seemed all CT warbler. Later, upon showing the photos to RF and some of Michael's crew, we were told the bird looked much better for first winter mourning warbler. Oops! I am going to look at some pictures tonight - in the meantime here are the pics:"

We had a classic fall migration day this morning. Excited by the overnight report of 1 million + birds moving over Kings County, we were greeted by many EASTERN PHOEBEs and a mix of warblers on Pier 1. Surprising to see most of them in a London Plane tree, which are generally sterile and birdless, but we noted that it was the only tree in the sun at the time. By the time we got to Pier 3, NORTHERN FLICKERs and BLUE JAYs had started to stream in. We mostly stayed in one place on the lawn, letting both subspecies of PALM WARBLER, two BROWN THRASHERs, and a LINCOLN"S SPARROW show themselves.

Subject: Call to Action for Fort Edward Grasslands
Dear Brooklyn Bird Club members,
 
In the past, the Brooklyn Bird Club has raised money to support the conservation of grasslands in upstate New York via the Grassland Bird Trust, a not-for-profit land trust based in Washington County. The grasslands are part of an Audubon-designated Important Bird Area (IBA), and they offer critical habitat for the likes of Short-eared Owls, Northern Harriers, and Upland Sandpipers. But the grasslands are under threat from a proposed solar project, and Grassland Bird Trust, American Bird Conservancy, and Audubon New York are asking for help in submitting comments to New York State to convince it and Boralex to fully mitigate the impacts of this project.
 
As the American Bird Conservancy puts it: "While renewable energy is critical to our future, this project—developed by Boralex—would destroy habitat in one of New York's most valuable grassland communities, designated as an Important Bird Area and located adjacent to protected state land.
 
Recent changes to state law require Boralex to provide only 0.2 acres of replacement habitat for every acre they destroy. ABC advocates for a minimum 1:1 mitigation ratio to compensate for any bird habitat loss. Anything less may threaten the long-term survival of these species in New York."
 
You can submit a comment about the project to the NYS Department of Public Service. American Bird Conservancy's suggested letter text is as follows:
 
Dear Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Administrative Law Judges,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed Fort Edward solar project, which threatens the vital Fort Edward grassland. These high-quality grasslands are a critical component of New York State's birdlife and are home to some of the state's rarest bird species, including Short-eared Owls, Upland Sandpipers, Eastern Meadowlarks, Northern Harriers, Sedge Wrens, Bobolinks, and more.
 
The proposed Fort Edward solar project would be situated in the heart of an Audubon Important Bird Area, NY State Grassland Bird Conservation Center, Natural Heritage Raptor Winter Concentration Area, and adjacent to a state Wildlife Management Area. In short, the project poses uncertain but potentially severe impacts to this priceless habitat and already-declining species.

Since 1970, grassland birds have experienced a 53% decline in abundance nationwide. In the Northeast, they are disappearing faster than any other group of birds. Habitat loss is the primary driver of these alarming declines, making the protection of large blocks of remaining grassland habitat a critical conservation priority.

Renewable energy is critical for our collective future. However, considering the immense ecological value of the Fort Edward grassland, I urge you to provide robust habitat mitigation measures to help conserve the bird species that will be affected. Industrial use of this rare grassland habitat demands extraordinary mitigation efforts. I ask that you observe a 1:1 ratio for any habitat loss, conserving as much habitat as is being impacted.

Thank you for considering the ecological significance of the Fort Edward grassland and for taking action to preserve New York State's declining bird populations.

Hi Peter,

We've been lucky with the Tuesday walks this season, getting good weather and some good pulses of migration on multiple occasions. Today was no exception. We had 69 species. It grew so warm that there were a few insect hatch-outs around the park, including one along the Lullwater, by Music Island, that drew in a bunch of warblers, vireos, kinglets, nuthatches, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. At the start of the walk, a huge swarm of Chimney Swifts fed over the lake and Parkside Avenue. There were also a bunch of Scarlet Tanagers around.


Thanks to Angie and Sheila for co-leading and all the participants (including one birder from Colorado!) who made it such an enjoyable outing.

Thankfully, Sean Krepski was on my walk and got photos, and Louis Wong about 30 minutes later photographed the same bird from the other side, noticing the white belly and the white base of the bill, and flagging it on the Discord as a possible Great Cormorant. Both Sean and Louis' photos show a Great Cormorant. Everyone makes mistakes, and most important is to admit when you were wrong &#x1f937;&#x1f3fb;‍♂️"

ALERT: Help Us Protect the Fort Edward Grasslands Important Bird Area!
Short-eared Owl sits on ground, camouflaging amidst dried grasses.
Dear Ryan,

Audubon's Fort Edward Grasslands Important Bird Area (IBA) and the vulnerable grassland birds that rely on it need your help. This IBA in Washington County contains 13,000 acres of exceptional grassland habitat that supports a diverse array of grassland birds, but it is at risk of being degraded by a proposed solar installation.

The Fort Edward Solar project would take 567 acres of habitat currently used by the state-endangered Short-eared Owl and threatened Northern Harrier in the core of the IBA. The development of renewable energy is critical, but we cannot let the urgency of our fight against climate change diminish our efforts to protect threatened and endangered species.

Urge the NYS Office of Renewable Energy to commit to protecting Audubon's Fort Edward Grasslands Important Bird Area by requiring adequate mitigation.

The project applicant, Boralex, proposes to mitigate the project's impacts by providing funding for habitat management on 216 acres of grassland on a nearby property. Providing only 216 acres of mitigation will not replace the ecological function of the 567 acres of grassland habitat being taken by this project.

Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers each require hundreds of acres of contiguous grassland for wintering and breeding habitat, and the proposed property is unlikely to support the same number of individuals.

Your support is critical. Tell NYS ORES that they must commit to protecting the grasslands and the vulnerable birds that rely on them by requiring adequate mitigation.

Thank you for speaking up in support of vulnerable grassland birds.

Sincerely,

Erin McGrath
Director of Policy
