The first of our fall series of Wednesday mornings in Brooklyn Bridge Park started off with a nearly-full exploration of the park. 9 birders went from Pier 1 to Pier 6 and back. In the fall, the pier 6 pollinator garden attracts a good variety of birds, and we encountered a traill's type flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, and a Baltimore Oriole in the area. Sprinkles of other warblers and flycatchers on the other piers. 
Looking forward to more in our extended schedule of outings this fall! And cooler temps!
