Report from Orrin birding Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) this morning included RT Hummingbird:
BBG this morning between about 8:15-9:15.
FOS hummingbird (presumably, ruby-throated), a couple of eastern kingbirds, and limited warbler activity in the native plant garden, mostly high in a dense, dark canopy. I was able to make out a first-year male redstart and a probable first-year Canada warbler. Also, a great blue heron on the Japanese pond.
