Thursday night’s cold front rained migrating birds down on Brooklyn Friday morning. Saturday was even more hopping.
A Nashville Warbler showing nicely. Note the reddish color in the head.
There were so many Gray Catbirds. I figured everywhere north of us has been cleaned out.
Ours will be gone soon, too. Mostly: a few sometimes stick around.
White-crowned Sparrow.
White-throated Sparrows also arrived in numbers.
Lincon’s Sparrow.

Backyard and Beyond 
Happy to say I think I have the last family of Catbirds here on the seacoast of NH.
It’s those warmish Gulf Stream waters…. Every winter during the Christmas bird count in NYC a few turn up hiding in nooks and crannies.
Cool I would love mine to stay.
Matt, did you get a chance to look at the plants that had red stems and leaves in the Dell Water? Has the Dell water always had such a large number of Ladies Thumb?
Still haven’t been there since I ran into you.
I don’t know what their plan is for the Dell Water. The Dell itself is going to be left to go wild, but consideringht number of invasives, some maintenance is necessary.
Alan,
I put the smartweed in the Dell up on iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/61999423 and some is calling them Pinkweed not Ladies Thumb. I don’t know enough to tell them apart.
