Date: Sept. 28, 2013 The BBG (Brooklyn Botanic Garden) birding class recorded 39 species while at a very birdie Conference House park in the very southern tip of Staten Island. The highlights were 10 warbler species (Yellow, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Pine, Palm, B&W, Redstart, Cape May, N.Waterthrush, C. Yellowthroat), Scarlet Tanagers (4), Indigo Buntings, 4 woodpecker species. It was very nice seeing the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers bleed the trees so that the Cape May Warbler could feed on the sap and provide us excellent views. Best Joe Giunta --
