Prospect Lake 'S West island in the southwestern corner hosted a golden bird.Found by Radka O. mid-morning, this beautiful bird of swamps offered a golden opportunity for many birders.
On a very slow morning that only yellow rumped warblers bored alot of birders along the lake's southern shore, I received a discord tweet of a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER at WEST island. Dennis hrehowsiks BBC walk was a beneficiary of Radkas grand discovery. I briskly walked back from the Lefrak center hoping this bird would stick around.That was no problem when I arrived: it was right out in the open, feeding in low shrubs that lined the islands west shoreline. I read later ebird reports that many birders saw the PROTHONOTARY , thanks to the alert system Discord offers.
Black vultures flyover in PROSPECT and GREENWOOD CEMETERY captivated birders looking up. In Greenwood, Louisiana Waterthrush at eastern sylvan water, and the continuing White crowned sparrow of western Sylvan water hedges made news.
