The floodgates open-Prospect Park, Kings County, NY, US - eBird Hotspot

https://ebird.org/hotspot/L109516

In the first big day of this spring birding, today was a day to be out. Lucky birders especially in prospect boasted among their sightings great diversity and 111 species to boot. And you know all green patches had birds.

Prospect birders collectively found 23 warbler species. Among them high quality species included Hooded,Blue-winged,Tennessee,Worm-eating,Nashville and Prairie.

With non warblers, add good sparrows and shorebirds. Field,Lincoln and White crowned Sparrows, the latter at Well house top this genera. A Solitary Sandpaper visited the Lower Pool mudflat.

And theres more: A Forster tern; Purple Finch,Rusty Black bird ; and a bunch of thrushes on Lookout Hill including Gray-cheeked.

Meanwhile over in Greenwood Cemetery's Dellwater, a few good ones as well. Of those sightings,Mourning Warbler is the best,followed by Summer Tanager and Lincoln Sparrow.

A Kentucky Warbler continues to be a showing at Brooklyn Bridge Park near the "pirate ship" ( in a playground).

I could continue on with reports but this post sums it up. Get thee out and bird if you have the time.
