incidentally, on Friday 8/27, the collective tally of Warbler species for Prospect Park, Brooklyn was at least 17 species, Bay-breasted being among those reported. Some of the birders out in that park found at least a dozen warbler species on their individual walks, and at least one Olive-sided Flycatcher was also noted along with a number of other typical late-August migrants. As before many of these reports made available in the Brooklyn birding blog maintained by Peter Dorosh with sightings from a multitude of keen birders. Some noted that diversity was good but numbers overall rather low, although there were some species noted in fairly good numbers.
The 17 warbler species reported at Prospect Park 27 August 2010 are: Northern Parula Tennessee Blue-winged Nashville Yellow Chestnut-sided Magnolia Black-throated Blue Blackburnian Bay-breasted Black-and-white Canada Ovenbird Northern Waterthrush Louisiana Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat American Redstart (one report from one observer noted 35 of just this species today) - as reported by the birders in Brooklyn. Of course more reports may be forthcoming. - - - - - - Tom Fiore, Manhattan -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
