At about 9:30am yesterday (Tuesday) in Prospect Park in Brooklyn I had
a Summer Tanager in blotchy red/orange plumage, I'd guess probably a
1st year male (it was fairly bright). It was on the southeastern
branch of the Penninsula towards the tip, feeding in the mid to high
canopy along with a lot of starlings, robins, and a few warblers
(yellow, magnolia, black and white). Other birds in the park
included Carolina Wren, Warbling and Red-Eyed Vireo...light activity,
but definitely feels like migration.
