The Basics of Bird Migration: How, Why, and Where | All About Birds All About Birds

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/the-basics-how-why-and-where-of-bird-migration/ 

A big Tuesday surge

It was one of those days I guess didn't reflect a big push of migrant birds. But there it was: evidence of numbers and birder reports from a few that a fallout commenced. One birding friend said prospect was still active into the afternoon. In parks across northern Brooklyn, it was Birdy everywhere.

For example  take the word of the Brooklyn bird club who had their weekly walk. Just a short distance from their starting point, "lamppost249" treated them well: a immature Summer Tanager with all green body with a vertical red stripe on its breast; black billed cuckoo ; and 15 species warblers just off the south slope of Lookout Hill. A standing party!

See Bobbi' s report in the previous post.

Prospect saw its first fall Connecticut Warbler ( finally). Greenwood wasn't going to claim solo rights. Courtesy of Richard Payne, he spotted the skulker along the phragmite edge across from the well house , or by the Ginkgo trees on the lake side of the Peninsula. ( Ridgewood Reservoir by the way also boasted a Connecticut today on the trail along the western impoundment)

Also on the Peninsula a Philadelphia Vireo showed up along the meadow edge. But Greenwood owns the win likely three Phillies, two together near the 20th /PPW Ave entrance. The third one was on Orchard Hill at Landscape Ave and Hillock path.

Smaller parks like Owls head park benefited from the surge as well, a birder there saying it was "very Birdy". Regardless where you were, I'm sure you saw birds,all in the home stretch songbird peak.

The day was so good, a friend mentioned :"  I stayed in one spot on the far end of the peninsula meadow for 2 hours!" 

There are many more species to mention. Look at the following checklists for details.

Greenwood on a roll!

Greenwood Cemetery continues on a really good roll with fantastic birds, all seen today.

There appears to be two Connecticut warblers. One was a continuing bird on Vernal Ave by Union Ave;there is a onion dome mauseleum at that location. A second Connecticut swung by at a weeping beech on Larch Ave by Beech ave.

 Near the Vernal ave Connecticut, a Clay- colored Sparrow surfaces.

Topping a warbler list, it's always good seeing a Yellow - breasted Chat. Bobbi Manian found this bird at the Glade path near central and sycamore Avenues.

Olive -sided Flycatcher continues in the cemetery. ( On a side note,also at Prospect Maryland Monument dead snag)

If you look up, you might've seen Black Vulture and Common Nighthawks( totaling 7) flyovers.

It's just too bad I have to work and miss these great boids. 😭

Excellent Day in Greenwood Cemetery

 A most productive day in Greenwood Cemetery in supplementing the high warbler diversity ,rarities put on appearances for birders. With no Townsend's warbler to report, it was a great day for birding under clear blue skies.

85 species were reported including 23 warbler species, a spectacular fall number for the cemetery.

Personally I spotted a fall best 13 species warblers,thanks to help of my spotters Rob Jett and Adelia Harrison. My best I think were Mourning, Bay-breasted, Wilson's and Blackpoll in that highlighted order. The Mourning spotted by Adelia appeared feeding in white wood asters at the Bluffside path on Sylvan Water north slope; Bay-breasted and Wilson's at Crescent water crabapple trees. 

A gorgeous adult Bald Eagle flew over in circles above Crescent for nice views

Regarding rarities and uncommon birds,here's the list: Connecticut Warbler at Vernal Ave by Union; Philadelphia Vireo in a Vista Ave crabapple; Yellow breasted Chat at Dellwater; Broadwing Hawk over Cypress and vine aves; Olive sided flycatcher at Ocean Hill; perched Common Nighthawks, ; Yellow throated Vireo at a Holly Path bald cypress tree; and cuckoo.

Orioles, tanagers ,red breasted nuthatches, great crested flycatcher,wood pewee were some other stuff making it an enjoyable adventure at the cemetery.

Day of the Phalarope

Eleanore Ray came up with a big bird for Prospect Park,the first seen since 2001. 

A RED NECKED PHALAROPE dominates birders mindset as they all converged on the south Lullwater. Swimming and pecking away at surface bugs, the rare bird was quite a tame creature ,so tame that a rental kayak with two kayakers glided so close yet the phalarope paid no mind. 

First seen around 11:15, it stuck around into late afternoon though on the move . An hour after its discovery it moves southeast towards the Peninsula point. As of 4:37 at the last tweet,it resided along the south shore of the Peninsula meadow ( by the giant Willow). 

A really terrific find and enjoyable bird to watch so close to birders on the Breeze Hill shoreline.

The rest of the park enjoyed a great day for birding. Philadelphia Vireo, Olive sided flycatcher and multiple warblers entertained birders in many spots. Lookout Hill Butterfly Meadow northwest was hit very early with warblers, along them a cooperative TENNESSEE WARBLER.

76 species in prospect. Check the link

Hi Peter,

It was a beautiful day, with a smattering of birds around the park. The numbers were down from last week, but there were some really good species. We never made it to the lake or even out onto the peninsula, so the list is a bit shy this week. Here are some of the hightlights:

Thanks to Eleanor for spotting the Red-necked Phalarope; really a great bird for the park. We also had Olive-sided and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers, at least 5 Bay-breasted Warblers, Wilson's, Tennessee (Valerie), Worm-eating Warblers; and more.

The lifer for me was a walk that included a 7-week old. So many lifers....

Here's the list to post. See everyone next week.

Tom

Greenwood cemetery hot day

You could take your pick of any bird rarity;or try for all three and one place will be fine for the pursuit. For Greenwood cemetery,that's the place to be today: it had three rarities.

First we begin with LARK SPARROW. Found by Rob Jett, the bird thought it was a security guard as it hung around the 20th street entrance security booth. It lingered there long enough for other birders to see the Lark Sparrow.

The second good bird is DICKCISSEL also found by Rob Jett. And Sylvan Water was the spot ,two seen on the western slope for several birders reporting it afterwards.

The last bird worth pursuing is a fall prize, CONNECTICUT WARBLER. Perhaps the Dellwater bird on the move,Michelle Talich found it at Valley Water southwest corner by the bench and memorial garden. A later report placed the Connecticut at Bayside Ave, just east of Valley Water. Hey bird,aren't you supposed to go south? 🤗
