A flurry of bird reports for this dreary chilly morning but birders went out and saw good stuff. Here's a quick summary.
At Owls Head Park in Bay ridge, a Summer Tanager was a great find. The spot was by a bee colony on the side of the park southwest corner along 68th St. Also in that park during a bird walk, a Worm eating Warbler was observed.
With Worm eating, one was also found in Prospect Park between the Pools ,on the Isthmus.
Continuing with Prospect, a variety of quality birds. At Dog beach , a single Pine Siskin hung out with American Goldfinches.Rusty Blackbird on the south side of Lullwater bridge,Hooded Warbler in the Mid wood , Bluewinged warbler and Purple Finch at northwest Quaker Cemetery offered an antidote to the weather.
And from Humming-Bird to Eagle, the daily existence of every bird is a remote and bewitching mystery.
