Doug Gochfeld and I visited both locations in the hopes of discovering any lingering late season insectivores. While flycatchers were nonexistent, our efforts were rewarded with 5 species of warbler, the most notable for the date a Northern Parula on the east side of Hendrix Creek. A quick look in Ebird shows only one Kings County record of a long staying 1999 individual in Prospect Park lingering into the first week of December. November 9th is the next latest date.
Other highlights included: (3) Orange-crowned Warblers-both locations Palm Warbler-Hendrix (2) Pine Warbler-Hendrix (2) Yellow-rumped Warbler-Canarsie Marsh Wren-Hendrix Fox Sparrow-Hendrix (11) Ruby-crowned Kinglet-both locations Waterfowl numbers are building at Hendrix with over 90 Green-winged Teal. Coots and Pied-billed Grebes are still hanging in. Only 16 days to go till the CBC!!!
