I scanned the lake in Prospect Park from about 830 to 900 a.m. this morning
with no sign of the gull. Most of the gulls were on the water near the center
of the lake, so it's entirely possible the bird is still there somewhere.

A female EVENING GROSBEAK was a first for me in Prospect today, seen

much diurnal movement going on, but other birds included EASTERN
MEADOWLARK, RUSTY BLACKBIRD, and my first of season AMERICAN TREE
SPARROW.

Birding was great in the lower half of Prospect Park today. Songbird

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

An UPLAND SANDPIPER was on the Long Meadow ball fields at dawn this
morning. It was just after 6:00, and still dim on the field, with the
sun not yet over the tree line. I was walking up the middle of the
field when the bird flushed (or perhaps it was just coming down) from

A BLACK TERN was over the Lake in Prospect Park this morning around
8:45. I picked it up while scanning a fairly dense flock of swallows
(mostly Barn) shortly after arriving at the shore near the base or
west end of the Peninsula. My first thought was “what’s wrong with
that Laughing

Bald Eagle - immature bird flying high over Nethermeade about 4:30 PM
Saw my first-of-year EASTERN PHOEBE today in Prospect, a sure sign
that spring migration is on. A fair number of birds were moving, with
increased numbers of Blackbirds, Juncos and Song Sparrows on hand, as
well as a flyover flock of 16 WOOD DUCKS. The blackbirds were mostly
Red-winged,
A first year PROTHONOTARY WARBLER continued at Prospect Parks Lily Pond
on Wednesday 8/19. Seen briefly from the Binnen Bridge, but best views
were from the viewing platform on the east side of the pond, from which it
was seen in the morning along the opposite edge of the pond, an area
