This chilly windy day bought in traditional overshoot warblers into Prospect: the golden bird Prothonotary warbler and a formerly called Sycamore warbler now known as Yellow throated warbler. And birders benefited including the BBC bird walk started today.
At Upper Pool ,the Prothonotary made its rounds around the pond. Sometimes it was close; other times distant. I lucked in with the latter, seeing it on the Upper pool island on my lunch break. I'll take it. But in close views it hung around to the right of the dog beach offering good views and photo shots.
Meanwhile down at the Peninsula, the BBC walk group got lucky when member Janet Zinn found a yellow throated warbler high up at the Peninsula tip above the rustic shelter
.
Both these birds are firsts for Prospect on spring 2023. Let's hope they both stick around longer.
