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.
