Obviously as Birdcast predicted it, there was good birding around. To keep it simple with multiple reports I'm reading , the Connecticut Warbler and Philadelphia Vireo are top prizes.
Connecticut Warbler - highly sought- were found both found in Greenwood Cemetery and Prospect Park. The cemetery bird seen in the east end of the Hill of Graves, flushed out of the grass onto a London Plane tree where it cooperatively perched for many to see. It flew north towards some beeches along Central Ave .
The Prospect Connecticut reported in an obscure area has less birders present. That bird was found within the area of Binnen Creek, Binnen Pool and Center Drive ,along the wooded path.
Another fall prize Philadelphia Vireo today chose Butterfly Meadow and the Peninsula Tip shelter for it appearance after yesterday's showing in Greenwood.
Other pursuits include Yellow bellied Flycatcher ( in several spots), Worm eating Warbler ( in a beech Grove) and Hooded Warbler ( at Pine Hill Central Ave), all in Greenwood.
Obviously it's likely a 100 combined species day in both greenspaces on Birdy Saturday
