Birds worth pursuing


In Prospect Park today, an uncommon Philadelphia Vireo surfaced in two locations. And as well Clay colored Sparrow is a handsome bird on anyone's fall list.

Philadelphia Vireo is a beautiful bird and one was found at Third Street Playground in the shadow of the Lichtfield Villa. A second Philly followed at Maryland monument , down hill from the monument.

With fall comes sparrows eventually, and among the prizes is Clay colored. Bushwick Inlet park hosted one today.A belated second from yesterday afternoon surfaced on the hill side up from Prospects Well Drive picnic tables ,before flying down to the the lakeshore phragmites.
