Still a little early for warbler numbers, today's bird with honors was the Black and White Warbler. 6 BWWA seen from my early walk:1 at the Esdale Bridge south side, 2 at the Tennis House, 3 inside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Native Flora section. The Ambergill creek on the south side of the Ravine entrance--the Esdale Bridge-- has a eddy type slow water spot that birds are attracted to, on the right side about 50 feet from the bridge.Here also among bathing robins, also American Redstart and NorthernWaterthush, albeit a quick look,disappeared into the aquatics.A great spot for a big sit (staying still at one location). And also, a single Yellow Warbler on the Upper Pool's Island, right above 4 hidden Wood Ducks.
