It was a beautiful day to bird and birds cooperated. By my own account ,I have 17 WARBLER species, topped by a gorgeous BAY BREASTED WARBLER. But no doubt with all the teams that WARBLER species number will close n on thirty I bet. That's later. The best sighting regards a sitting COMMON NIGHTHAWK to the edge of Butterfly Meadow,found by Alan Baratz.Multiple birders benefited from the sighting. But it was a hectic scene as birders ticked off species and moved on. Not for me today.there's a lot to report.
YELLOW BILLED CUCKOO was the other nice report,two at Lookout Hills summit,high in the oak canopies.
Here's my list http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S29653445
Here are tweets or Twitter reports I received from cooperative birders

Sorry for the lack of observer names. These will appeared automatically in Birdtrax if it's deemed rare.
Stay tuned to the Brooklyn Bird Club Facebook as group photos have posted and eventually the totals and top team. I won't call them winners as all teams in my book win and doing so celebrate this great day thru their participation and contribution to the conservation and awareness of birds.
