Prospect end of spring days 6/20

End of spring approaches; summer solstice hits tomorrow morning , these sighting probably are the last observations reported for spring 2010. (note : Summer Solstice Jun 21 2010 7:28 AM EDT )



From Tom Stephenson:



Went into the park briefly today with Adam Welz...had the usual stuff including 2 young Red- taileds (hawks) being fed a young robin.

Also had two young Blue-grey Gnatchatchers being fed by adults near the Maryland Mon.

Finally, there's been a Hermit Thrush that has been singing in the AM in the berm in front of our building for at least 2.5 weeks.
Still singing now. I went over and didn't see any other birds or food gathering or anything..so probably just one male.
But could merit watching..



[Berm is the Grand Army Plaza outer ring, between Vanderbilt Ave and Flatbush Ave]
