Flycatcher flurry

A MOURNING WARBLER report was sandwiched by several flycatcher reports, typical for those species moving through at this time.

The first report of the MOURNING WARBLER was a verbal one, a bird singing south of the Vanderbilt Playground along Prospect's border with Prospect Park Southwest Avenue as reported by Sean Sime.

Then several flycatcher reports from Sean and Paige Linden mentioned and  , notably OLIVE SIDED FLYCATCHER and YELLOW BELLIED FC in both Prospect and Greenwood Cemetery, The Olive sided were reported at : top of Lookout Hill; one at Greenwood's Hillside Ave; yet another at Vernal Ave or path. The YELLOW BELLIED were reported at : Lamppost 249 at Well Drive; one at Greenwood's Larch Avenue; one YB off Ivy Path also in Greenwood. Last an ALDER FLYCATCHER accompanied the YB at Lamppost 249.

Enjoy your weekend...

Singing Sunday summary

From the Wellhouse to the top of the Maryland monument stairs,it was a sing along early morning ,  all bird song easily captured by those keen ears of Ed Crowne.

At the Wellhouse, Ed heard the empidonax ACADIAN FLYCATCHER. A short walk to the switch back trail picks up the continuing MOURNING WARBLER at the base. And finally cuckoo calling above the Maryland monument gives itself away as a YELLOW BILLED.

Of note at Greenwood Cemetery ACADIAN FLYCATCHER appeared at the Bluffside path facing Sylvan water North shore. Mike Yuan reported it.

Prospect hopping mourning

A spate of Mourning Warbler reports even if it's only three is alot of birds for it's rarity. That was the case this mourning erg morning.

At 623 am Dale Dyer texted me he had a Mourning at Quaker Ridge opposite Lookout Hill. A few hours later Ed Crowne heard two unseen such birds - one at Maryland Monument and later still at the top of the Tunnel Arch stairs north of the Midwood. It's likely two birds but two is plenty at the same time.

Meanwhile over at Greenwood cemetery it's FLYCATCHER day. Two OLIVE SIDED FLYCATCHER S with a nearby ALDER FC supplemented a YELLOW BELLIED FC. The insects must be in fear of their lives!

The KENTUCKY WARBLER continues at Sylvan Water ,seen briefly.

Oporornis day

Two warbler species from the oporornis family made appearances in Prospect and Greenwood cemetery.Those were the highlights of a drastically drawn down migration nowadays.

A MOURNING WARBLER was heard singing at the lower section of the Switch back trail near Maryland monument. Ed Crowne of course was the discover. I'm not sure if the skulky Mourning was seen in that dense foliage. The same bird or a second was possibly heard again at Butterfly Meadows west slope.

The there is the other oporornis, KENTUCKY WARBLER. For the second time this spring and in the same spot unless it's the same bird making three week rounds  ,the singing KENTUCKY gave some views at Greenwood Cemetery Sylvan Waters south side. Prospect is mysteriously being avoided by this bird. 🤔

There were scant reports of straggler Warblers like BLACKBURNIAN at Lookout Hill top. An apparent nester. Indigo bunting on Butterfly Meadow with a Great Created Flycatcher and Eastern Wood Pewee peered down from one of the Pin Oaks.

Update. Mourning warbler plus Wilson's warbler reported at Vale Cashmere pool 330

Note description of empids yellow bellied and Alder

Still good Migration

If one is content with the now diminished migration as peak is far past, there is still satisfactory seeing with several notable species in Prospect today.

My friend Ed Crowne came up to me as I was making my work rounds. At the east end of Center drive  a robust cheery singing PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was music to Ed's ears. The bird stayed put along that stretch most of the morning.

Two BLACK VULTURES flew over Prospect Lake.

At Terrace Bridge  at peak time for empidonax flycatchers an ALDER FLYCATCHER kept it up with its calling. It's important to know the call notes to distinguish the four eastern empids.

In the Midwood, a likely BICKNELLS THRUSH almost identical to Gray Cheeked thrush before the species was split by the AOU usually give itself away with its chip song.

And since we are in the breeding season both SCARLET TANAGER and INDIGO BUNTING were observed carrying nesting material at Butterfly Meadow. It's reassuring to know my spark boid tanager wants to settle down here.

Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Hi Peter,

We had a strong, hardy, courageous group today...who persisted through the early rain and did our usual tour of the park. It was very, very quiet...although there were a couple of pockets of birds on Lookout and around the lullwater.

Highlights were the Blackburnian that Angie found and curated, at least 4 Canadas, a very nice Bay-breasted, a cooperative Green Heron, ultimately, 11 species of warblers and 61 species overall.

Here's the list.

MIKI over Prospect

Before thinking it's a flying mouse, MIKI is the banders code for MISSISSIPPI KITE,a Midwestern centered raptor with a fluid flight. In spring sometimes these kites overfly in small numbers .It's quite rare around here. Cape May,NJ  is a well known location seeing these birds But yesterday was an aberration, an invasion of sixty recorded at the Cape.. One kite was reported two days ago in the Gravesend section. Today saw Prospects airspace touched by a single MIKI.

Rob Jett took to his roof in Park Slope ,his home near the Litchfield Villa. At about 1130 am, he spotted a flyover MIKI. If accepted by Ebird,I beleive it would be the second documented sighting for the park .

Hi Peter,

We had more birders than birds on yesterday's walk (well, at least it felt that way...).  it was a lovely, though windy day.  we heard a lot of blackpolls, but it was a far cry from last week's excitement.  Yesterday was the last official Tuesday walk, but we will continue for one more week hoping for a final wave of migrants.

Sounds like you all had fun at Great Dismal, we ran into Bob up by the Vale. 

best,

Bobbi

Purple martin

Ryan Goldberg reported a lone adult male PURPLE MARTIN among the Barn Swallows over Prospect lake late this afternoon.

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S56597916
- Comments: "Male seen flying low over the lake among barn swallows which offered good comparison: noticeably larger, all dark, with a long notched (not forked) tail. Long-winged. Back was all dark and underwing was dark along leading edge and slightly lighter along the trailing half. No markings. Passed close by several times along the Wellhouse shore before it flew east past the phrags and out of sight. "

Two PROTHONOTARIES,two locales

This past Sunday I watched a PROTHONOTARY warbler in its swamp habitat. But that bird was 400 plus miles away. Today,my second PROTHONOTARY within three days was just a stones throw from my Tennis House office building. Therefore I got two different perspectives of a breeding bird and the other still migrating,a cool thing to think about.

I came home yesterday afternoon after a very successful and enjoyable extended weekend trip to the Great Dismal Swamp in southeast Virginia. I observed a PROTHONOTARY along the boardwalk Cypress trail. It was one of several PROTHONOTARIES my group found.

Today at the flooded road dip on the north side of the Tennis House Paige Linden found the migrating PROTHONOTARY at the water edge. When I went there on my lunch hour I found several waiting birders on the bench hoping for this bird to appear. It was Rob Jett who spotted the bird minutes later  in low Ash branches above the road junction. Charles joined in and we three had great looks at a very golden bird.

Rob also heard BAYBREASTED that Paige mentioned as well, WORMEATING,CANADA , TENNESSEE and female BLACKPOLL in that asphalt watery spot. I only saw the latter as the up above CANADA was setting speed records and the rest too far.

Good to be back home
