Beautiful colors around the area

There are plenty of gorgeous colors seen in the area today. And they occurred in different places in both Prospect and Greenwood cemetery.

Consider gold. That fits the Prothonotary Warbler,continuing today by Prospects picnic house. Outside the coffee bar, to the left is a woodlands pothole or kettle, a depressed area with some trapped rainwater that enticed this bird. There was a report of a possible second bird at Lower Pool to the south.

Then we have red. If it's in that plumage, the Falkill Falls trail harbored a Summer Tanager, found by Juan S.

Next is blue. And here we have 3 different species. Two Blue Grosbeak surfaced at both Prospect and Greenwood. The prospect bird was seen at Butterfly Meadow, another at Greenwood s Cedar Dell area .Also one more blue species at Butterfly: Indigo Bunting. The last blue bird found at Nethermead happens to be an Eastern Bluebird.

And finally consider going to Prospect Park West Ave at the 3rd Street entrance and yellow is the tint to look for. A Yellow throated Vireo is the highlight. As previously posted a Yellow Throated Warbler was reported in the woods West of Prospect s Lull water Boathouse Bridge

It's quite a rainbow out there!
