Dennis Hrehowsik BBC walk was satisfactory with 15 birders showing up and having a good sighting of OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER on Lookout Hill 's Butterfly Meadow. The total warbler count was 8.with a nice bird in BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. However from the list I was sent, I see it was a great day for its diversity and good birding company.
Meanwhile, over at Greenwood Cemetery, birders were unsuccessful finding yesterday's Prothonotary Warbler and Philadelphia Vireo. However as these one day wonders weren't around, a treat nevertheless watching the antics of two GREEN HERONs at Dellwater with a BELTED KINGFISHER providing more enjoyment as it flew constantly around this water spot. Just a few feet to the Crescent Water, we ( Me, Mary E , Tom P, JoannP) found a CAPE MAY WARBLER in a Hawthorne tree at the water edge, also a YELLOW WARBLER in that tree..
See the lists below. Just back from a Coney Island Cyclones night game and all this sticky muggy weather makes me too tired to think further.. Where is that north cool wind ??

From Dennis Hreshowsik, leading the Brooklyn Bird Club walk Prospect
Peter,
15 birders met at grand army plaza on a cloudy morning that gave way to sunny skies. Highlights included Olive sided flycatcher, white eyed vireo, and 8 warbler species of warbler.
See you in the field,
D
