NYBG Bird walk 11/29/14

Excellent birding day at NYBG. We started out by chasing a TREE SPARROW that darted through the birches in the Native Plant Garden. A small flash caught our eyes and an ORANGE CROWNED WARBLER jumped up and then quickly down. Suddenly a flock of small birds flew by our heads landing in an adjacent tree- PINE SISKINS on every branch! There were PURPLE FINCH throughout the garden along with House Finch- more numbers than we have seen in many years. American Goldfinch were feeding in the sweet gum as were the Purple Finch and Siskins.
Hawks were plentiful as we watched a skillful NORTHERN GOSHAWK maneuver through the forest trees. Down by the lake an AMERICAN KESTREL sat stop a tree. A sharp- shinned hawk and Cooper's hawk were also nearby. Red tailed hawks were perched on branches. A Belted Kingfisher rattled its presence midair as it circled the Twin Lake.
The garden was full of birds, throughout.

We had a brisk and chilly bird walk at NYBG today. Highlights include AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, PURPLE FINCH and Rusty Blackbirds.
An American tree sparrow was briefly spotted in the Native Plant Garden today, along with a song and swamp sparrow. Down by the crabapples two female purple finch joined a flock of house finch and one chipping sparrow. A field sparrow was also observed in the crabapples. Rusty blackbirds (17) were poking around the leaves in the swale.
