2016-09-15 Thread Sean Sime
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 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!
