[nysbirds-l] 10/19: Queens & Brooklyn Migration

A 4 hour stationary count, with Sean Sime and Luke Musher, on the hawkwatch platform atop Battery Harris at Fort Tilden this morning was predictably productive. Echoing other reports from throughout the region, our most abundant mover was "Myrtle" Yellow-rumped Warbler. We tallied just under 8,000
