The PPPABU is haunting his usual spots today on the north slope of the Lefrak Greenroof. Listers are beginning to salivate for their 2016 list - the bird looks happy but you never know. Rob Bate Brooklyn -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME

Both the PABU and BHGU continue in their usual spots this morning. Bunting was feeding down low but showed nicely, and the full was paddling between the center-lake flock and the western shoreline. Also had an Orange-crowned Warbler pulling caterpillars from the reeds along the lakeshore

The dice continues to roll favorably with our two celebrity birds : PAINTED BUNTING & BLACK-HEADED GULL. With far fewer birders milling around, I went to see the Painted Bunting. It seems to be exploring more of the green roof as now the Bunting moved to the far north end of the Rink green

I scanned the lake in Prospect Park from about 830 to 900 a.m. this morning with no sign of the gull. Most of the gulls were on the water near the center of the lake, so it's entirely possible the bird is still there somewhere. -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
