The radar from last night was quite accurate as there were many birds at the 
garden especially hawks. But the rarest find was a NELSON's SPARROW in the 
swale closest to the sign that reads "What is a Wetland."  It was hunkered down 
in a bush with other swamp and song sparrows. The orange face was the immediate 
give away and we had brief but rewarding looks. We also had a flock of Brant 
and Canada Geese separately fly over. 
We also saw:
Black vultures-4
Turkey vulture-1
Rough legged Hawks-2
Sharp shinned hawk-1
Cooper's hawk-1
Red tailed hawk-2

Excellent birding day at NYBG. We started out by chasing a TREE SPARROW that 
darted through the birches in the Native Plant Garden. A small flash caught our 
eyes and an ORANGE CROWNED WARBLER jumped up and then quickly down. Suddenly a 
flock of small birds flew by our heads landing in an adjacent tree- PINE 
SISKINS on every branch! There were PURPLE FINCH throughout the garden along 
with House Finch- more numbers than we have seen in many years. American 
Goldfinch were feeding in the sweet gum as were the Purple Finch and Siskins. 
Hawks were plentiful as we watched a skillful NORTHERN GOSHAWK maneuver through 
the forest trees. Down by the lake an AMERICAN KESTREL sat stop a tree. A 
sharp- shinned hawk and Cooper's hawk were also nearby. Red tailed hawks were 
perched on branches. A Belted Kingfisher rattled its presence midair as it 
circled the Twin Lake. 
The garden was full of birds, throughout. 

Chipping sparrow-1
White throated-100+
Song sparrow-4

Fox sparrow-3

Today had to be the best birding day at NYBG!  Not more than five minutes and 
50 feet into the walk we had a low flying adult bald eagle and then warblers! 
Most of the warblers listed below were in one oak tree. The Chestnut sided were 
taking a bath with Goldfinch - quite a colorful sight.  On the forest path we 
had Scarlet tanagers,Rose breasted Grosbeaks (which may be nesting) Veery,

A rather quiet day at my Saturday morning bird walk. The major highlight was 
the sighting of a coyote! We had good looks as the coyote ran right past the 
birding group. (A blurry picture on BirdingAroundNYC.com) Later in the walk the 
coyote appeared again and then mysteriously disappeared into the forest. 

As for birds we had 1 Yellow rumped warbler and heard a blue gray gnatcatcher. 
In addition to the following:

Ruby crowned kinglets-2
American Kestrel with a lizard in its talon
Red tailed hawks-3
Wood duck-6
Mallard-4
Cardinal-1
Bluejay-6
Mourning dove-3
Grackle-18
American robin - many
Chipping sparrow-2
Song sparrow-1
White throated sparrow-1
Northern flicker-2 (heard)
Red winged blackbird-8

A WILSON's SNIPE, in the swale, highlighted my Saturday morning bird walk.   
The Pied billed grebe continues on Twin Lake. If you go have patience as the 
bird dives for long periods of time and favors the middle of the lake. The call 
of a RED SHOULDERED HAWK was heard from the area of the forest adjacent to the 
swale. The RUSTY BLACKBIRDS are now mixing with flocks of grackles. We saw 8 
Rusty blackbirds rummaging through the shallow waters of the swale turning over 
leaves looking for food.

Highlight from the Saturday morning bird walk: RUSTY BLACKBIRDS. Four birds 
were observed in the swampy area between the smaller Twin Lake and the Bronx 
River. They were traveling with a small flock of grackles.  Also in the same 
flock were two red winged blackbirds. 
 A Great Horned Owl was well hidden in the forest compared to last week when 
both owls were easily spotted.

The Saturday morning bird walk had 13 people on an unusually balmy day. 
Highlights include: Our female GHO now roosting with the new male. So courtship 
looks like it has begun! I will have photos of the pair on my website later 
today. 

The Bronx CBC takes place today - so here's hoping to some good finds. 

We saw the following;
Chickadee-1
White breasted nuthatch- 1
Yellow bellied sapsucker -1
Hairy woodpecker -1
Downy woodpecker -1
Red bellied woodpecker -2
American goldfinch-3
Dark eyed junco-many
Carolina wren-1
American Robin-many
Red winged blackbird-2
Song sparrow (singing)-1
White throated sparrow-5
House sparrow-7
House finch-/
Raven-1
Red tailed hawk/3
Cooper's hawk -3
Great horned owls-/
Blue jay-4
Cardinal-1
Eastern Towhee-1

One of our regular birders, Steve, had surgery so we wish him a speedy recovery 
and hope to see him soon. 

Good Birding, & Happy Holidays!

Common Ravens, Cooper's Hawks and brilliant Cedar Waxwings highlighted the 
Saturday morning walk.
I found it interesting that the Cooper's Hawks are back in full force. Last 
winter, we found a Cooper's in every tree/bush where indications of Saw whets 
were present. NYBG can have a few Saw whets per season and the Cooper's have 
made them a primary meal. 
  On a happier note, the Cedar waxwings on the crabapples were a sight to 
behold. There were American Goldfinch dangling from Sweet Gum balls and 
Kinglets frantically working the yews. A well hidden Great Horned Owl was alone 
in the forest. I hope the female finds a suitor as mating season approaches.

There were 26 people on my tour of NYBG and we saw the following birds:

Warblers:
Palm-1
Blue headed vireo-1
Blackpoll-1
American redstart-1
Yellow rumped -many
Black throated blue-1
Sparrows:
Field-4
Song-9
Swamp-5
White throated-3
Chipping-many
Eastern towhee-1
American goldfinch-2
Great blue heron-1
Belted kingfisher-1

Red bellied woodpecker-3
Chickadee -1
American Robin-many
Eastern Phoebe-2
Ruby crowned kinglets-many
Dark eyed junco-3
Osprey- fishing Twin Lakes!
Red tailed hawk-4

Interestingly, as my birding tour meandered around the back of the lake we were 
walking and talking when a red tailed hawk plummeted to the ground -right in 
between us - grabbing a chipmunk in his talon and flying off. It was a mere 12 
inches from us and we could hear the thud as it hit the ground. An amazing 
sight and sound!

The Saturday morning bird walk had 18 birders and we enjoyed a rather birdie 
day at NYBG. 

The new Native Plant Garden at NYBG continues to be a superb birding area for 
sparrows. Clay colored, Field, Song, Chipping, white throated, Fox and LARK 
sparrow (another birder we met along the way found the Lark). The best point of 
lookout is under the pavilion adjacent to the tall grasses behind the 
waterfall. 

Also spotted throughout the Garden:
Yellow rumped warbler-6
Black throated blue-2
Magnolia-1
Northern waterthrush-1
Common yellowthroat-4
Black and white -2

Brown thrasher-1
Rose breasted grosbeak-1
Ruby crowned kinglets-3
Wood ducks-2
Mallards-4
Catbird-6
Bluejay-12
Mockingbird-1
Eastern phoebe-2

Hairy woodpecker -1
Downy woodpecker-2
Yellow bellied sapsucker-3
Red bellied woodpecker -3
Sharp shined hawk -1
American robins-many in assorted maturity.

They say if you build it, they will come. NYBG created a Native Plant Garden, 
last May, and on today's bird walk we spotted a LARK SPARROW in the new garden! 
Martin Carney - you were right!  Also at the Native Plant Garden;  Chestnut 
sided and Common Yellowthroat.

Spotted in ONE large tree over the Bronx River:
Eastern Phoebe-1
Eastern wood peewee-1
Rose breasted grosbeak
American goldfinch-3
Great crested flycatcher-1
Red eyed vireo-3
Hairy woodpecker-2
Downy woodpecker-2
Northern flicker-3
Red bellied woodpecker -2
Black and white warbler-2
Grackle-1
Mourning doves-2
Blue jay-1
White breasted nuthatch-2
Scarlet tanager -1
Chipping sparrow-1
Song sparrow-1
Wood thrush-1
American robin-1
Catbird-1
The bird watchers called the tree "magic" and so it was!

On Twin Lakes
Solitary Sandpiper -2
Belted kingfisher -1
Cardinals-2

There were Ruby throated hummingbirds (8) on every patch of Jewel Weed. 

We were limited in the flyway because of southern winds but managed to find;
Red tailed hawk-4
American Kestrel-1
Chimney Swifts-6

Thanks to the very sharp eyes of all the bird watchers- today's walk was a 
great success!

The Saturday morning Birdwalk began at 11:00 and we birded until 3:15. It was a 
spectacular day.
  The broad winged hawks started moving early and we had the good fortune to 
see them flying single file and then start to kettle up and rise on a thermal 
until they were almost out of sight. Quite a sight!
 An immature Bald Eagle, Osprey and Cooper's hawks also passed overhead.It 
was hard to decide if we should count hawks or look for warblers so we did a 
little of both. With the morning winds from the north we had excellent  birds!

A beautiful and productive day of birding at NYBG. My walk had 30 birders. We 
ran into a puzzling sight at Azalea Way.  A house wren, song sparrow, chipping 
sparrow and catbird were all trying to feed an immature cowbird perched in a 
tree. The cowbird had initially been spotted on the birdhouse where the wrens 
were nesting. 
 Highlight include; cedar waxwings, warbling vireos, a rusty blackbird and 
Carolina wrens nesting in the forest.

On the Saturday morning bird walk 27 birders watched a male and female 
Baltimore Oriole feeding their newly fledged chicks. Quite a sight to see the 
young birds in a crabapple tree as flashes of orange and yellow feathers 
quickly flew from branch to branch gathering worms, spiders and other insects 
to deposit into their gaping mouths. 

On the other side of the garden a male and female House Wren were working 
equally as hard to feed their brood chirping from a nearby  bird house. 

Chipping sparrows were chipping, 
Cardinals were calling, Red winged black birds were flashing their red  
epaulets in territorial defense, immature grackles were chasing their parents 
begging for food and warbling vireos were working the treetops gathering 
insects for their young.   It was a very busy birding day!

Friday's rain storm turned the Bronx River into an amazing sight as it rushed 
through NYBG. The rain filled the forest with babbling brooks and turned the 
waterfall into a spectacular rush of water. Even though a small iron fence 
separates you from the waterfall the motion of the water, spray and sound were 
breathtaking. Anyone who wants to see nature in action should go to NYBG today 
or Tuesday before the fury subsides. 

Highlights from my Saturday morning bird walk:  we saw a Catbird chasing a 
chipmunk in a crabapple tree; Cedar waxwings were everywhere; a Bald Eagle 
soared over the Bronx River while an Eastern Peewee continuously called from a 
branch above the water.

Bald eagle - immature
Cedar waxwings- many & everywhere

Red winged blackbird-1
American Robin-many
Red tailed hawk-3
Mockingbird-1
House Wren-2 nesting
Cardinal-3
American Goldfinch-3
Mourning Dove-2
Cormorant -1

There appears to be an absence of Eastern Kingbirds at NYBG and an increase of 
Warbling Vireos. Usually Eastern Kingbirds nest in the Sycamore trees along the 
Bronx River. Yesterday, we spotted four Warbling Vireo nests in the Sycamores 
but not one Eastern Kingbird.

Our resident great horned owl had two owlets this year and was faced raising 
them as a single mother. Her mate, Junior, and Rose, the Red tailed hawk, both 
went missing at the same time a few months ago. Perhaps they had a final deadly 
altercation after numerous confrontations. No one knows for sure. It was odd 
that they both vanished in early winter.   But, I am happy to say, the owlets 
have fledged and were observed on today's walk. 

In addition, we have a wood duck who has nested in a tree above the water. 
Quite a sight seeing wood ducks in a tree hole. A regular nesting site for them 
- but may be a first - at the Garden. 

There were 58 birders on my walk today and although we had a large crowd we all 
were treated to great sightings of:
