Back from a few days in the Jersey Pine Barrens (birds , inc 5 Bald Eagles,Snow Geese in Brigantine NWR , 100+ Cedar Waxwings in an Atlantic Cedar grove and perimeter ; leaf peeping for colorful fall foliage) , here are today's Prospect's birding reports including ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER:
From Adam :
Hi All
At about 3pm this afternoon I was taking a walk with Sarah in the Park
and she spotted a warbler-like bird that she didn't recognize. I got
on to it and we had a bunch of really good views of my first
Orange-crowned Warbler for this year, halfway between the Wellhouse
and the BBQ area near the south end of Lookout. Gray head, very slim
eye-ring, fainly blotchy/streaked olivey breast, paler greenish-yellow
vent, etc. etc.
What a way to be welcomed back to NYC! (I got back yesterday from Kenya.)
Cheers
Adam

There were very few birds today. Most of the birds we did see were on
Breeze Hill. We got only a very brief look at the turkey vulture,
flying over.
