Peter's note: 19 species warblers are tallied
from the reports today in Prospect Park.
Great day even though I had to work most
of the day or an appointment in NYC
except after work@330 . Best sightings are
Connecticut and Yellow-breasted Chat,
both seen on the hot Peninsula. In the afternoon,
the tip was quite active with warblers "trapped:
in and around the right side of the shelter, esp
in the elm and cherry trees by the cove.
The birds were coming put of the phragmites
and upward to tree perches or on the flumes
of the phrags, Most noticeable were Northern
Parula and Blackpoll species.The peninsula is a
great post morning locale for resting and feeding
birds in this cooler spot. A Good show today!
A major cold front --Northwest winds-is predicted
to pass thru Thursday morning.. That day and
Friday should be a quite a day birding. Have fun!
