From Tom
Hi Peter,
Well, we were a bit in the fog today, but thanks to Rob Bate's strategy of going to the southern end of the park, we eventually had a pretty good morning with 50 species including 14 warblers.
Highlights were several Spotted Sandpipers, several Green Heron, several Black-crowned Night-herons....Wilson's, Blackpoll, Pine, Tennessee, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Scarlet Tanager, Osprey and Lenore had a Peregrine...
So all in all a good outing.
Best regards,
Tom

From Peter :
During my 45 minute hour lunch ( 12:15-1), a flurry of warblers totaling 11 diverse species ( not numbers) along the south lake shore between Three Sisters islands and West Island Cove.
Among them, a really great specimen of CANADA WARBLER with a "million dollar" necklace, very wide on this particular bird. The rest of the warblers were the usual species but nice to see the birds in fall migration on a very short lunch hour.
ON another note for good bird, Inside the Japanese Knotweed patch at West Island cove, a skulking BROWN THRASHER.

Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier One
A quick walk around the park found a Blackpoll Warbler close to the steps. This
is the 62nd bird recorded at Pier One. In the salt marsh there was also a Common
Yellowthroat and a Yellow Warbler.
