Also birding in the park, Russ reports FIELD SPARROW , SWAMP SPARROW and increasing numbers of NORTHERN FLICKER.
Peter reports YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER at the 9th street park nursery.
IN mostly incidental sightings, 3 WOOD DUCKS are in the Upper Pool, 2 drakes, on water after staying ashore the isld. Yellow-rumped Warbler by Falkill Fall, 3 Northern Shoveler, an Osprey and Laughing Gull on thelake were best observations after work..But an AMERICAN KESTREL provided a highlight with a swooping kill of a small bird in the tree on the Peninsula shore by the meadow .

From Russ:
Northern Flickers all over the park today. Pine Warblers continue along Lullwater, seen and heard. Eastern Phoebe as well plus one behind the pagoda. GC Kinglets in a few spots, LP249, Lullwater and Ravine. The Vale had a Swamp Sparrow by the water and a Field Sparrow feeding with a few Songs.
