Spring awakenings around the nabe

The date doesn't say so but birds are ahead of the game as the early spring migrants make their way through our neighborhood.

In Greenwood cemetery, an American Woodcock surfaces along Atlantic Ave and Greenbank Path. Several Eastern Phoebes were reported in the cemetery.

Over at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, on Bradley Klein's first Sunday walk, the group witnessed a flyover juvenile Bald Eagle.

In Prospect, my mid-afternoon walk found at least 8 Common Grackle in the Sweetgum trees by the West Island rustic shelter. By the island a pair of Hooded Mergansers appeared.

Here's the link for more observations in Prospect
