Thank you for joining me at Brooklyn Bridge Park today! While we just missed a series of heavy migration days by one day, there were still enough lingering birds to capture our attention.
We stayed at the pollinator garden on Pier 6 just long enough to see the sun hit the tops of the trees and give us a taste of the warblers that we would encounter throughout the park - American Redstarts, Northern Parulas, and pair of Yellow Warbers. On Pier 3, the stand of birch trees near the maze attracted a variety of additional migrants - Black-throated Blue (female), Black-and-white Warbler, and for some, a Tennessee Warbler. One of our first sparrow migrants, a Savannah Sparrow, showed well on the Pier 3 field.
The Brooklyn Bridge Park gardeners are proud of the jewelweed plantings by the Pier 1 Long Pond that have attracted Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in late summer. Amazingly, one hummer zoomed in to feed on the flowers the minute the group walked onto the adjacent bridge, and it stayed for a few minutes to offer excellent views.
See you out there soon!
