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!
13 participants, 38 species

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.
Ryan
