From Tom Stephenson:
I was able to get into Prospect Park for a bit, hoping for new birds on the NW winds. Definitely changes from Thursday.
Most notable were the first Dark-eyed Juncos I've seen this year. Also a late group of 7 Glossy Ibis were flying south over the park 8am or so.
The winds seemed to have flushed out many birds including lots of the robins and a lot of the diversity. In it's place were a number of frantic flocks of Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a few warblers and Red-eyed Vireos and Peewees and Phoebes.
These flocks kept showing up, starting in the Vale and then eventually on the Peninsula. Didn't have time to get to the South end, which might have been good.
Over time, we did finally have (Janet and Stanley and myself) 14 species of warblers
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom

From Rob Bate:
Peter - I went out late to the south shore to see if anything piled up there. It was busy right by 3 sisters Islands but sparse elsewhere. I did get 12 warbler species in 1 1/2 hours plus a RB Grosbeak and both kinglets. Earlier Tracy and I were at the BBG and picked up a few good birds. The Native Species Garden is closed till they clean up storm damage. - Rob
