I was looking at the Cornell ebird website for Prospect Park, curious about how many species were seen so far. It said 175 species.That appears to be an excellent total. Hopefully the rest of the year, particularly the fall , will be fun. For now, one day at a time.....

************************************************
A quick search of the office records show that Saturday's FOS Kentucky Warbler was among the latest to appear in Prospect. Only 5 KEWA sightings historically after May 22nd .The other dates were 5/25/02, 5/29/00, 6/11/07, 6/14/97, & 6/21/97. Caught some luck there. ( and I noted that 3 usually occurring species spring warblers are still missing this spring: Golden-winged, YB Chat,YT Warbler [irregular]and one non visual Prothonotary [though heard] ) .
************************************************
Still some plants remain unplanted ( from the nursery) for the Brooklyn Bird Club Centennial native garden site in the Vale cashmere. I need to get them planted before June so one of the weekdays this week will have to do. Likely tomorrow , Wednesday , maybe Thursday at 9 am.It also depends on my availability due to the new rink side planting project.Please email me if you can come in for a hour or so so i know how many spades to bring + let my boss know of my need to finish my BBC project.It may finish up on 2 more weekday dates. ( no weekends with upcoming holiday and the BBC weekend trip the one after in early June).
