This was the third LSNY Birds & Brews Walk. We started up at 103rd Street and looked around the Pool, we had several warbler species including Northern Waterthrush and Common Yellowthroat. Further along the Pool we also had several Northern Rough-winged Swallows. We headed into the Loch to try to avoid some of the rain where we found Ovenbirds, a Black-throated Blue Warbler, and many Gray Catbirds. After the Loch we headed up to the Great Hill where we had 2 species of woodpeckers. We checked out the Children’s Glade and found an Eastern Wood-Pewee before we headed off a bit damp, but no worse for the wear to a local bar, Nobody Told Me for some casual conversations and libations. We totaled 29 species for the evening, which was not bad considering the weather!
