The park was quite active mid to late morning with the highlight being a
very bright Connecticut Warbler on the peninsula. Other highlights included
two Philadelphia Vireos and 16 species of warbler (without seeing a
Golden-winged Warbler reported by others).

A complete list with some photos can be seen at this Ebird link.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park/Kings County: 4 warblers +

2016-04-18 Thread Sean Sime
Although the overnight winds were not from a favorable direction the
diminished wind speed allowed for some new arrivals in the park. Most
notable were the increased numbers of Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers. A
few Pine Warblers are still around and a bright male Black & White Warbler
was feeding low along a peninsula path.

Other new arrivals included House Wren on Lookout Hill, Swamp Sparrow on
peninsula "thumb" and a singing Purple Finch between lamppost 249 and the
perimeter road.

Good birding,

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park , (Kings) rarities continue

2015-12-10 Thread prosbird

Here in Prospect Park, nature keeps repeating itself. PAINTED BUNTING at the 
Rink , BLACKHEADED GULL(BHGU) at the west shore or northwest Prospect Lake.The 
continuity keeps going on.


The PAINTED BUNTING during the morning was reported (RBate) at the north side 
of the steam pipes or ice making machinery of the Rink rooftop; the BLACK 
HEADED GULL was reported at the west shore 12;49  till I got another text 
message note it flew out farther into the lake 12:54. Word I received is the 
BHGU comes back and forth , showing up between 11 am and 1 pm. ( Observers 
Kathy Toomey , Jean Shum)


How much longer do we have to see this dynamic duo repeat their appearances? As 
long as we here at Prospect Park like it.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park, Kings County: Clapper Rail and Yellow-throated Warbler

2014-05-04 Thread Sean Sime
The Clapper Rail continues in the same location across from the Wellhouse.
At roughly 8:15am a Yellow-throated Warbler was heard singing on the top of
Lookout Hill (and subsequently photographed. It was last seen near the
Maryland Monument.


The park was quieting down as the clouds rolled in, but it was extremely
active from first light till 7:00am at the Vale of Cashmere. 17 species
there alone in a 1 hour stationary count. Highlights from the morning
included;


Blackburnian Warbler

Nashville Warbler

Prairie Warbler

Blue-winged Warbler

Yellow-throated Vireo

Great-crested Flycatcher

Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Scarlet Tanager

White-crowned Sparrow

Bank Swallow


Countless migrants continued north out of the park for the first few hours
of daylight. It was an impressive sight!


Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park (Kings ) April 14th

2014-04-14 Thread prosbird

The second southern US species ( not native to these parts ) appeared on the 
current southern warm flow, a SWALLOW TAILED KITE that flew over the Lullwater 
at 9 am , observed by Jennifer Plummer Kepler, who took a photo of the species. 
A beautiful bird , very diagnostic and a perfect gliding smooth flying bird 
that marks this species. An awesome find for the park. See Jennifer's photo in 
the link she provide which is seen on on the Brooklyn Bird Club Facebook where 
it was initially posted.


http://snapshotofnature.blogspot.com/2014/04/awesome-sightings.html



The other big news is the reappearance of the YELLOW THROATED WARBLER at the 
same location as yesterday behind the Pools (mainly Upper). This time the bird 
cooperated for a multitude of birders seeing it low , even on the ground as I 
witnessed it . Thanks to Shane Blodgett for today's first report. When I saw 
it, it was in the Sweetgum tree just over the Upper Pool back view; then a 
short while later, it flew across the path to the back slope woods. Its been 
seen well and low for most of the afternoon.


A new first of season warbler , PRAIRIE WARBLER was spotted by Ed Crowne along 
the Falkills Falls path , just south of the falls, on the downslope to the 
right if one heads for the Nethermead.Its been up high in the beech trees , and 
low earlier.


The other report , over at Greenwood Cemetery where Doug Gochfeld been 
skywatching , reported BROADWINGED HAWK and 2 COMMON RAVENS.

After a week or so absence from this spot, the VARIED THRUSH showed up at the 
Ambergill Pool /Creek area. Several observers saw the bird reported near the 
Esdale Bridge at one point. Also with the thrush a RUSTY BLACKBIRD.  Observers 
Rafael Campos, Marisa Wohl, Rob Bate, Chris Holden who reported it seperately 
to me.


see latest map  http://goo.gl/maps/Q2pHf


WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS on Butterfly meadow, PINE SISKINS and typical species 
around this time , BROWN CREEPER, WINTER WREN , YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER and 
good numbers of GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET in Prospect, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and 
Greenwood Cemetery


WOOD DUCKS by the decade and other enjoyable duck species reported today in 
Prospect 


Over at the BBGarden , a decent flock of DARK-EYED JUNCO on the lawn by the 
Reflecting Pools; A SWAMP SPARROW at the Japanese Garden waterfall, not often a 
birdy spot.

[nysbirds-l] Prospect Park ( Kings), VARIED THRUSH returns 3/13

2013-03-13 Thread prosbird
Rafael Campos found the VARIED THRUSH at the Ambergill Pool, in the Ravine. 
Later,  about 30 minutes, I ventured over there and found the celebre thrush on 
a dead log  next to a boulder  hidden by fallen dead tree brush, along the back 
shore of the Ambergill Pool. This is the pool where birders watch from the 
Esdale Bridge birds bathing in the creek that empties into the pool, just east 
from the Picnic House. However in later afternoon, it was not relocated. Again 
, my guess is that this bird explores the whole ridge, going up slope and out 
of sight, maybe in its strange environment , its skulking more



Other good birds to report are 5 WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS and our first EASTERN 
PHOEBE for Prospect. 


see my blog for details www.prospectsightings.blogspot.com and the google map.
