Woodsy Birds

A robust chiseling in the woods…

—turned out to be a juvenile Hairy Woodpecker. Presumably hatched right here in Prospect Park.

A Great Crested Flycatcher… also breeding?

Event Alert: This Friday, weather permitting, I will be setting up some insect light “traps” for the Brooklyn Bird Club just inside Prospect Park at the 5th St./Prospect Park West entrance. It’s a pop-up event: no need to sign-up. Tis the night before National Moth Week.
