Birding was great in the lower half of Prospect Park today. Songbird migration is underway.
I first birded Lookout Hill and the wood chip trail up it's side from the Maryland Monument. Activity was good and besides the two Blue-winged Warblers I saw, a highlight was a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher seen by Peter Dorosh. Next, after the off-leash mayhem that takes place there, I birded the Penninsula woods; activity was high here too on the Lullwater side of the woods. I briefly caught sight of the Golden-winged Warbler seen by others yesterday along with another Blue-winged Warbler, lots of Redstarts, Yellow, Black & White and Chesnut-sided Warblers. Further out by the rustic shelter a number of other Brooklyn Birders and I found a Cape May Warbler in the Pines. The other notable species for me was a Worm-eating Warbler near the platform over the Lullwater Cove. 46 species total.
