Golden-winged Warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera) (1)

- Prospect Park, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/
- Comments: "*rare fall migrant, continuing bird found earlier today by Zohara. After spending a couple of hours looking for it in the Ravine with no luck, I was on my way out when Nicky Abrams refound the bird over by the lower pool. Rushed over, and though the bird wasn't immediately present, I managed to refind it after about a half an hour foraging somewhat low in the same general area. Gorgeous gray bird with a black throat and mask, golden coloration on the top of the head and in the wings. Seemed to love foraging upside down. Watched it for about 15 mins before leaving. Finally, this long awaited state nemesis gets taken down in a spectacular way."

- Comments: "*Uncommon to rare. Great find by Zohara :) Adult male with crisp black throat and face mask, yellow cap and yellow wing panel, gray on top, white below. A very small amount of yellow below the black throat, but not enough to invoke the “H” word, IMO. In my photos, that color is slightly exaggerated by the reflection of the green leaves. Zohara has a nice one that shows the color of the chest a bit better."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S390096441
- Comments: "Flagged: rare, low-density migrant, and rarely chaseable in Brooklyn—my first this year. In this case I got the notification about Zohara’s find while up in the Butterfly Meadow and decided to quickly run (literally—was supposed to be mostly running this morning) over to her pin, where she and Daisy and Tripper were able to put me on it fairly quickly. Mostly seen from below while it was very high above, from which vantage the view was mainly the black throat and otherwise plain underside—I saw no hint of yellow on the underside either in real life or in anyone’s photos, so this seems to me good for a “pure” Golden-winged—though I was able to eventually get a little more of a view of the namesake yellow upper wings, as it clung to some dead leaves searching them for bugs. A challenging bird but always good to see them hanging on."

Tonight's BBC nighthawk watch
The annual event despite the favorable northwest wind didn't produce the high count of nighthawks but the party of birders didn't mind.Its always a crapshoot but tonight did get us several nighthawks.
It wasn't until 710 pm for the first nighthawk to appear and it was a fast direct flyer.Over the Nethermead spotted coming fast and straight through along the lull water,most birders saw it while others missed it. It was the second bird I spotted that offered a little more time flying the same route as the first . Then the third bird appeared behind the group heading northwest .Overall I was told 5 nighthawks were tallied.. Oh well,it's better than none!
In other news. ,earlier today a wonderful migration of Cedar Waxwings commenced: over a 100 in Greenwood Cemetery and a sizable flock at prospects hammerhead section .It's a gorgeous bird, one of my faves .
Warblers were more prominent at Greenwood Cemetery, 14 species in all reported by Joe T as well as a Yellow billed Cuckoo.
Most interesting is that the Lefrak splashpad has become a peep show with two Semipalmated sandpipers and a few Least sandpipers.
Just up the lull water from the splash pad, a non breeding Blue winged Teal has been hanging out near the Pink Beach .
It should still be good birding tomorrow.I'm hoping so after my busy work week.

- Comments: "Surely the most exciting moment of the morning - an empid I’d hoped but not expected to find in the garden this fall! Seen for no more than 3-4 minutes flycatching shyly in the darkest back corner of the native flora garden, just near the mouth of the artificial stream. I quickly lost it after it crossed the fence. While it did not vocalize I feel confident in this ID, having a few run-ins with these little guys in prior years. My immediate first impression was that this empid was more compact than the multiple traill’s flycatchers I’ve seen in the past week, and exhibited a much stronger preference for deep shade. The eye ring also stuck out as clear and complete, and the wing bars very prominent. When it turned to face me I immediately noticed a bright yellowy-green color from the throat down to the belly. I tried to see this as a LEFL but just could not buy the degree of yellow and green I was seeing."
