The Fall Birding class sponsored by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, led by Joe Giunta, met for their first walk of the season on Saturday. On a beautiful early fall - but slow birding day, we saw the following species in the Garden and Prospect Park.
We particularly noted sightings of 4 Red-breasted Nuthatches in the Garden.
