Re:[nysbirds-l] Swainsons Warbler confirmed Prospect Park

This is an area with dense undergrowth but there are wood chip paths as well as some disgusting "desire" lines you can use but please do not walk elsewhere so we can protect the vegetation. The Swainson's Warbler is vocalizing regularly and clearly- even I can hear it. Rob Bate Brooklyn >

Thanks Louise, There are reports on the New York Birders Facebook group of a Henslow's Sparrow at SGNWR on May 23rd, with a photo by Deb Tracy-Kral and a video from David Hayes. I can't believe this wasn't posted to NYSBIRDS-L.Deb Allen-Original Message- From: Louise Fraza

[nysbirds-l] Swainson's Warbler Prospect Park: Yes!!

It's always a good day when you get to see a Swainson's Warbler. We made eye contact. He sang for me. Still in the same spot as reported earlier. This surely makes up for my "maybe it's a Golden-wingled Warbler" debacle yesterday at Bayard Cutting. 40.662858,-73.966905 Time for lunch!

Henslow's Sparrow update This species was long a resident on the grass lands of the Saratoga Battlefields. The staff found that the birds needed to have the grass burned or cut for the habitat to be maintained and for them to continue to breed in the area. So they cut the grass at the proper

Sorry! While I did indeed photograph the Henslow's Sparrow around 10am when its odd call caught my attention after I left the blind area near the Dickcissel, I do not commonly see Ammodramus sp. so honestly didn't correctly ID it, Deb, until I got a message from a friend late afternoon about a
