Though he saw more than twenty species of wood-warbler this weekend the Hooded Warbler was his Best Bird of the Weekend both because of the effort he put into finding it, the serendipitous nature of the encounter, and the fact that a whole bunch of other birders got to see the bird.

Corey was extremely lucky this weekend to get a Cassin’s Kingbird , the second record for the species in New York State. But that bird was in Brooklyn whereas his Best Bird of the Weekend, a Henslow’s Sparrow , was his first in seven years and also his first of that species in Queens! How about you?

So, all this makes birding this place an occasionally less than pleasant experience. The family has about 37 species, but that includes several fulvettas – only 21 of the species have “parrotbill” in their names (and frankly, the bills of fulvettas do not look like those of parrots at all).
