Date: Oct. 19, 2013 The BBG ( Brooklyn Botanic Garden) birding class recorded 41 species at Riis Park/ Ft.Tilden. Riis Park is completely open and part of Ft. Tilden is open for birding. The highlights were 4 warbler species (Yel-rump, Cape May, Palm, C.Yellowthroat) and 6 sparrow species (Field, Savannah, Song, Swamp, White-throat, White-crowned). Blue-headed Vireo and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker provided good views. The birds were in small pockets of activity and could be easily missed. The best area was the north side of the golf course. We did not see a single hawk during our 5 hour walk. Best, Joe Giunta --
