Eddie Davis found a bright Yellow-throated Warbler by Lampost 249 along the north shore of the lake in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Many eyes are on it now. Thanks Eddie! Ron Bate Brooklyn -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

[nysbirds-l] 25 Black-crowned Night Herons

I stopped in at Return-a-gift Pond at Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn this afternoon hoping to find a Blue-winged Teal but was greeted instead by 25+ Black-crowned Night Herons roosting in the tree in the middle of the pond and in the Phragmites surrounding the pond. Quite a nice spring sight!

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park - Wilson's Snipe and Pine Warbler

Bob O'Neill found a very cooperative Wilson's Snipe in the Vale of Cashmere in the northern end of Brooklyn's Prospect Park and then later refound the Pine Warbler found yesterday in the Vale by Eddie Davis. Today the warbler was on the path above the Rose Garden not far from the Vale. Red Tails
