From Gus Keri posted on Brooklyn Urban Birders Facebook page
"I have always thought that the Prospect park Lake is much safer than the Upper or Lower pool for ducklings.
Today, I didn't see any duckling (Wood or Mallard) in the Upper or Lower pool but there was a total of 10 ducklings (7 Wood duckling and 3 Mallard duckling) in the Lake, near the West island.
Here is a video of mama Wood Duck with her 7 ducklings."

Blog takes a break ( & so do I)
Because I need some relaxation n no interruptions,the blog takes a rest. I'll try to forward stuff in the evenings. Furthermore my phone will be off -silent -so no re-tweets or forwards.
With Swainson's a big draw, simply go to the Midwood n u will find birders. Make friends.Hope the boid is still there. Otherwise look whom I follow on my feed BBCKINGBOIDS. the link is on my blog left side. There's also a WhatsApp Kings & Queens bird alert for subscribing.
The last BBC walk is tomorrow. May 27th

Hi Peter,
Well, it was very rainy yesterday. But the very, very small group persisted and we had a rather unique list for the day, including one of the rarest birds seen in the park in a while. Here it is..
No pix as it was really raining the whole time.
Thanks very much to Ed for co-leading in the rain and guiding us to the Swainson's spot.
Best regards,
Tom

Skulker surprise, skulker frustrates
The continuing SWAINSONS WARBLER threw a surprise maneuver this morning and then when it settled in usual residency , simply made it difficult for long looks , frustrating birders at least during my lunch hour.Its a heck of a skulker.
The same discovered Ed Crowne-"Swainson celebre"- heard the Swainson this morning at the Lullwater Cove, just west of the Lullwater bridge. Thereby I tweeted out and sent a note to the birding listserves. This was a new location i presumed at the time. Then about a half hour later, it decided to throw mayhem by going back to the same Midwood location it originally spotted in . So again I took to retweeting , tweeting map coordinates and sending another note to the birding listserves. A Crazy bird.
Back at the Midwood, I presumed a number of morning birders found this bird on their luck. But for my small lunch time group, it was just giving fleeting looks in the dense shrubbery. It was across the middle path in the adjoining east woods section about 300 feet north from Center Drive container 7. A few birders with me saw it very briefly as it sang. While it quieted , it then about ten minutes later sang again , heard by Eni Falci , so tantalizing close but unfortunately a large shrub blocked its view for me and others.
Generally this Swainson's is staying in the center of Midwood between the trail heads ( reverse 7) that start at the middle hardtop path. Learn the song and this helps you locate it without straining your eyes everywhere.

So again I took to retweeting , tweeting map coordinates and sending another note to the birding listserves. A Crazy bird.
Back at the Midwood, I presumed a number of morning birders found this bird on their luck. But for my small lunch time group, it was just giving fleeting looks in the dense shrubbery. It was across the middle path in the adjoining east woods section about 300 feet north from Center Drive container 7. A few birders with me saw it very briefly as it sang. While it quieted , it then about ten minutes later sang again , heard by Eni Falci , so tantalizing close but unfortunately a large shrub blocked its view for me and others.
Generally this Swainson's is staying in the center of Midwood between the trail heads ( reverse 7) that start at the middle hardtop path. Learn the song and this helps you locate it without straining your eyes everywhere.
