At 11AM today (Sun) and again at 5PM Chaoyan and I
saw a lot of swallows on the lake including Cliff (1), Bank
(multiple), Tree (1), and numerous Barn (about 20).
In our two trips across the park we saw at least 10 Scarlet
Tanagers, and heard or saw many Northern Parula and
Blackpoll Warblers (at least 10 each).
Here are additional species for the 5/9 Prospect list:

Bank Swallow - perhaps 4 on Lake

From Keir Randall:
Despite the cold and wind, surprisingly birdy this pm, especially the woodchip path from GAP
to the Rose Garden (close to Flatbush Ave), the Vale and Nethermead Arches area - many singing warblers, orioles and vireos, very low down.

from Rob Jett May 8th observations:
also observer Heydi Lopes
There were 2 Hooded Warblers in the park; a male by Rick's Place and a female across the road from the Quaker Cemetery. .... I spotted the 2nd hoodie flying across the path near the bottom of the stairs. Also, we had a Gray-cheeked Thrush on the bridle path behind the Music Pagoda. We played both BITH (Bicknell's) and GCTH (just in case), but it only reacted to the GCTH.... In all, we totaled 19 species of warbler in Prospect.
