October 10th Prospect; Major Kinglet species push

From Adam Welz:

AMAZINGLY large numbers of kinglets in Prospect Park today

Hundreds of both [kinglet] species seen. Also just generally very large numbers of White-throated Sparrow, Palm Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler.

The area around the Lulwater, the Peninsula, the lawn near the Peninsula and the lower slopes of Lookout hill were just JUMPING with birds.

Also saw my first Blue-headed Vireo for Prospect, which made me really happy! White-crowned Sparrow on top of Lookout.
