Date: 10-9-10 Place: Riis Park/Ft. Tilden, Queens NY Reported By: Joe Giunta Our Brooklyn Botanic Garden birding class saw 52 species. The weather was perfect for a hawk flight and hawks are what we saw, over 100. We saw all the regular hawk migrants (Sharpies, Cooper's, Kestrels, Merlins, Peregrines, Harriers, and one Bald Eagle). A Turkey Vulture was seen and some of us saw a flyover flock of Snow Geese. We also noted 4 warbler species (Yellow-rumps, Palm, Common Yellow-throat and one Prairie) and 5 sparrow species (White-throats, Swamp, White-crowned, Song and Savannah).
