Hi Peter-

Great final outing of the season in Brooklyn Bridge Park.  The park was flooded with yellow-rumps, white-throated sparrows, and juncos, with lots still in flight over Pier 1. Picked out one purple finch in the crowd on Harbor Lawn, and saw large flocks of Robins in morning flight, heading north. 

Didn’t catch up with the rare for park Royal Terns seen around the harbor, and the pier 3 Vesper Sparrow apparently was a late riser, but we had a great time with a great group of regulars and interested newcomers. Hope to see everyone again next April!

Hi Peter,

Yesterday's Tuesday walk was the last of the season, and it was a fun one. For the second week in a row we saw a Vesper Sparrow on the ballfields; in general, there was a good variety of sparrows and hawks. An adult Rose-breasted Grosbeak by Lefrak was a surprise; that one should be in the tropics already!

We observed 58 species. Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S404061506.

Thank you to Angie for co-leading. I'm also thankful to all those who joined this season, whether for one week or seven, that helped make the Tuesday walk a fun place to learn and spend time together. I think it's a special group and I'm happy to be part of it.

- Comments: "Flagged as rare. Only listing one out of an abundance of caution but really probably two. First heard one calling between ballfields 2 and 3 where they’ve been in recent days and eventually saw and photographed it up in a tree: Large sparrow with blurry streaks and prominent white eyering. Then later I was down picking through sparrows down in the fenced-off wildflowers just NW of the dog beach when I saw a larger sparrow with white outer-tail feathers fly up that soon revealed itself to be a Vesper as well—though theoretically it could have just been one large sparrow flock moving around the ballfields area. Photos of each encounter available, and maybe I’ll up it to two if they look like different individuals."
