I noted reddesh-brown flecks on the underwing and initially believed I was looking at a juvenile red-shouldered hawk. It made one counter-clockwise circle over me as if considering re-settling in the same perch. Made a couple wider circles over the east edge of Sylvan. I lost sight of it as it flew low over the NE corner of Sylvan, near cliff path."

Mega rare buteo hawk at greenwood cemetery
At mid-afternoon, a juvenile SWAINSONS HAWK was photographed on a low flyover after taking off from a yew tree at the southeast end of Sylvan Water.
Photod near Oak and Hillock avenues
The hawk's identification was confirmed by moderators of Whatsapp . Helps to have a photo if you can lug a camera around.
Congrats to Michael S. for his terrific find.

Amazing report of bald eagle at picnic house
Last Friday I took the day off. It turns out my supervisor and staff were treated to an amazing experience pertaining to the Bald Eagle that has been hanging around in Prospect.
Our office moved from the tennis house to trailers in the parking lot adjacent to the picnic house. From my supervisor's account my coworker texted her to say the Eagle was perched in the large Oak outside the house south corner. And it was calling! A stunned crowd gathered to watch,obviously mesmerized. This never happened having this low perched eagle acting this way here in prospect.
In time the eagle took off,flying over my staff in the lot ,on a low flyover,outstretched wing just looking tremendous.
And I missed it by going to Jones beach.😄 ( but at least I saw a flock of dovekies out there).

Today's sightings from my bird walk
I led the Brooklyn bird club walk today (6.88 miles) titled " Gullmania at western coast Brooklyn . Although there wasn't much to squawk about ,on this beautiful day a few things worth mentioning.
Off Veterans Pier (65th at), a nice number of Bonapartes Gulls I believe over 40 birds preoccupied our attention. Some were very close to the pier which offered good looks for new birders in my group.
Fast forward to Bush Terminal Pier park, a very unexpected and unusual sighting with two Black Vultures;Joe W spotted them thinking Ravens but turning out to be low flying Black Vultures. What's unusual is one bird perched on a light tower; it then flew off to landing on a rusty smokstack at Industry City, joining an already perched vulture there. Quite the highlight for our group not used to seeing perched vultures in the city.
The report including checklists will appear on my trips blog.
Good winter boiding

Prospect bald eagle
Our bald eagle resident of winter comforts itself in a giant tulip tree on center drive.
After my volunteer event today, I casually drove along nethermead west edge when I spotted people looking up. There was the bald eagle perched in the tulip. The time was 1215. As I was texting a friend- one of my volunteers, our eagle flew off in the direction of lookout hill.
It's pretty nice to see it stick around in this now memorable season.
