A really windy Saturday as I spent most of my day visiting the Sakura Matsui cherry blossoms festival with family. During my restful moments there I read some intriguing reports from Prospect.
First among the good birds, the gusty winds blew in a BALD EAGLE right over the farmers market at Grand Army Plaza entrance. The observer said it was a low flying eagle.
Warblers top the other highlight. Highlighting the several reports ,a cooperative YELLOW THROATED WARBLER entertained two birding groups --NYC Audubon and our BBC at the Peninsula' s pink beach. Add in WORM EATING in the nearby Lullwater and a PRAIRIE WARBLER deeper in the Peninsula.A WILSON'S was found innorth of the zoo.
Waterthrushes put in their force at the Lily Pool. Both LOUISIANA and NORTHERN were reported in the back of the pond.
SPOTTED SANDPIPER,GREEN HERON at Music Pagoda creek and a Vale Cashmere ORCHARD ORIOLE were noteworthy.
Over at Greenwood cemetery,another Orchard Oriole accompanied Yellow and Black and White warbler at Crescent water
