Well drive good spot

Yesterday's Orange crowned warblers were absent today but a NASHVILLE WARBLER instead took their place. Anything yellowy  or colorful plumage this time of year takes alot of notice.

I spotted movement in the weedy brush behind and left of the black dirt pile adjacent to the green shipping containers. The bright warbler initially led me to believing it was one of the Orange crowneds. Instead as I patiently waited till it did showed, I noted the eye ring: NASHVILLE WARBLER. I'll take it.Its a gorgeous looking , beautiful looking warbler . As I watched it, a few HOUSE FINCHES and a lone SONG SPARROW hung around. Then a smallish raptor flew overhead and perched in the sycamore maple, a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK. Guess the birding was done thereafter.

Some interest on the Lake. Among abundant SHOVELERS, a single drake HOODED MERGANSER at Three Sisters, and hen BUFFLEHEAD nearer Duck Island were noted.PIED BILLED GREBE lingers in the Lullwater between the pink concrete beaches.

overcast skies,few tweets

On this windy chilly overcast day, a few notable reports to note..

First ,a double dose of ORANGE CROWNED WARBLERS on Lookout Hill south base slope , by the green shipping containers, observed by Sean Sime in Prospect Park.

Then my quack report of 8 LESSER SCAUP - 6 Drake, 2 hen- within a large BUFFLEHEAD contigent of 175 birds .this flock in the western cove of Bush Terminal Park, past the mound. I had visited this park for a small event that included park awareness, weeding invasives, and birding promotion. A sunnier day no doubt would have bought out the crowds ! It's early yet for winter birds to peak at Bush.

Also noted is the regular COMMON RAVEN ( chased by crows) at Bush Terminal Park.Observers were Karen Ohearn and Rob Bate manning the birding promotional location.

Thanks for your support! Give | Volunteer | Join Dear  I'm writing to thank you for your tremendous support in helping the New York Restoration Project reach our goal of planting ONE Million Trees for the City of New York. We accomplished this two years ahead of schedule working with our partner in MillionTreesNYC, the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. WE DID IT!  On Friday November 20, 2015 the ceremonial one millionth tree will be planted at Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx. No other city has reached this goal. On behalf of the Board of New York Restoration Project, the staff, and countless volunteers, thank you. Your generous contribution helped us achieve this record breaking endeavor. In your honor, and to celebrate this milestone, the Empire State Building will be bathed in forest green to celebrate your generosity and commitment to ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to beautiful, open green space wherever in the city they live. This Friday night, be sure to snap a photo, send to your friends, and share it with us on social media as we celebrate YOU and your kind support.

finch gathering

Retuning the work vehicle to my storage worksite at day's end, a horde of birds flew about. They gathered at this locale due to the sweetgum trees releasing its seed particles, which along with the water puddles attracted some nice birds.

Among those good birds,single PINE SISKIN and PURPLE FINCH were in the work yard. All morning I noted the numerous birds here, with the majority Juncos.
