Prospect June 9th "Warbler wave" ... ;)>

Rafael :

Peter:  The big surprise was one Blackpoll Warbler, male seen singing near the Vale, around 8:30 am.  Later I found an American Redstart in the Midwood, and the usual Yellow Warbler at the Peninsula.  Otherwise, Prospect Park was very calm, at least bird wise.
