Various sightings gleaned from reports I received pointed to some nice birds seen. Besides Tom Stephenson bird walk,these are what I read.
On Lookout hill just past the Switchback trail in the woods below the Butterfly Meadow, the continuing calling Yellow throated warbler was seen.In that same area low down , a Worm eating Warbler appeared as well.
Prospects other good birds have been the continuing Rose Breasted Grosbeak at Upper Pool dog beach; northeast of there a Black throated blue warbler continues for the second day in the same spot .The Hooded Warbler showed up today in the Ambergill in the Ravine.Warbling Vireos on the Peninsula and a Great Crested Flycatcher above the Maryland Monument are noteworthy pursuits.
Meanwhile over at Greenwood Cemetery Dell water, a Solitary Sandpiper was seen on its watery spots.
Iceland Gull at Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4 and Glaucous Gull at Bush Terminal Pier park continued their very long stay today alternating these locations different times
Even Brooklyn Botanic Garden had its own offering: a Wood Thrush in the Native Flora section. Greenpoints McCarren Park bragged having one too.
And from Humming-Bird to Eagle, the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bewitching mystery.
