And today in Prospect its HERMIT THRUSH, this earliest thrush was Ryan Goldberg's spotting ,in the Ravine Ambergill section .Gus reported RUSTY BLACKBIRD somewhere in the park.
Regardless where EASTERN PHOEBE picked all three locales for its prominent showing. I spotted two on the water fence at the Prospect dog Beach, active bug catchers they are.Yesterday was an infusion of phoebes, where noted the ravine area saw twenty.
Yesterday also I found water birds quite notable.On the Lake, five RING-NECKED DUCK headed a parade that include three Drake BUFFLEHEAD , a single RED BREASTED MERGANSER, two SNOW GEESE still with us, a pair of PIED BILLED GREBE ,and along with 15 Wood duck ,5 HOODED MERGANSERS on the Upper Pool.
