A Say’s Phoebe was found this morning in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, while Desi and I were having a fun nature walk at Oakland Lake in Queens with our friend Kerry. After our nature walk we had lunch, and while eating lunch more reports of the phoebe, which is a species I had never seen before in New York State, were coming in over email.

As bird lovers, we’re happy that laws exist to protect birds, and that people are especially looking after protected species. In the United States, a few of those conundrums are making news. The birds nest in the span, which is being replaced by a new bridge.

This White-eyed Vireo is perhaps the most cooperative of its species ever to exist. Summer Tanager is not a bird that I get to see every year in New York City. This bird was spending its time at Oakland Lake but they are easily found across Queens through the nesting season. Everyone loves Baltimore Orioles !

I decided to spend my day Friday birding the heck out of my home borough to see how many species I could track down for the day. Nonetheless, I ended up with 124 species of birds in Queens in the just-over-twelve-hours I spent birding. Still, any day in New York City with 124 species is a day well worth experiencing!

Turkeys, 3 or 4 species of woodpeckers, all kinds of song birds grace our view constantly. On Sunday I’ll have a big day and try to bird all of Alley Pond Park (Queens, NYC), from APEC to Oakland Lake, the Oaks section, the kettle ponds and end at the walking trails in the southwest section of the park. As I said, we are blessed.

Last year they shared over 1200 checklists and managed to achieve a stunning total of 2647 species from 32 countries. Last year’s magnificent total of 2647 species is the target to beat, but other results could prove interesting. 1499 species were seen in the eastern hemisphere in 2016.
