This morning at roughly 11am I was treated to views of a bathing
Orange-crowned Warbler where the Lullwater opens up towards the Peninsula.
The bird preened for a few minutes at eye level and eventually worked it's
way high into the trees and across Wellhouse Drive onto the base of Lookout
Hill.
Doug Gochfeld asked me to post he is currently looking at a juvenile
Iceland Gull on the lake in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
The bird was initially spotted from the peninsula, but is closest to the

First, a quick and very belated summary of the Paulagics overnight pelagic

30-31:
Despite reasonably strong winds early in the day, we were able to get out
to very deep water (ultimately a depth of about ~7,400 feet at the

If heading south, this bird will fly through NY somewhere along the

to head south. Eyes on the skies and good luck!
