On Birdathon Day (Internationl Bird Migration Day) this past Saturday, two Brooklyn Bird Club teams went out on a marathon expedition in an effort to raise funds for restoring part of Prospect Park's Vale of Cashmere with native plantings. The teams "Kingsbirders" and "Birdigo" ( http://birdigo.warmsilence.org/ ) tallied respectively 125 species and 96 species. Below is the link to that day's results. Included are Prospect Park sightings. It was a grand and fun day. Another Brooklyn based team -Shane Blodgett, Rob Jett and Doug Gochfeld recorded 142 species in Brooklyn . Quite an impressive accomplishment. Brooklyn is Good birding. (quoting Rafael)
