A bunch of stuff today

Too many reports today so I will summarize the best.

The Mourning warbler stuck overnight, near Vanderbilt Playground in Prospect.Wors I received from a friend it was in a oak tree east of the median strip opposite the playground where it hid in as well .

A Yellow breasted chat made an appearance at the Litchfield Villa , seen high up on a tree in Villa woods

Another Prothonotary Warbler showed up this time in the vicinity of Three Sisters Islands along prospect lake South shore.

Here are some warbler reports in Prospect: Wilson's behind the Well house and Picnic house area; worm eating in the Mid wood; Blackburnian on South Lookout Hill.

Over at Greenwood, Cypress Ave and vine Ave or in that general area at least 15 warbler species seen .

In Greenwood a Gray cheeked thrush came under scrutiny as a possible bicknella.Only singing voice will separate the two.

Flocks of Glossy Ibises flew over Greenwood and Prospect with 35 counted with latter.

A Summer Tanager continues at the Bklyn botanic garden native Flora section.

And last ,at Owls Head Park, blue Grosbeak was the main celebrity.Though a willow flycatcher there imitated an Acadian .

Whew!

"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for spring." — Rachel Carson
