Nine enthusiastic birders enjoyed a warmer than average late summer day at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Under the expert leadership of Rob Jett, the group saw 38 bird species plus a nice variety of butterflies and odonates. Many of the warblers observed by the group were in mixed flocks near pine trees. The increased use of native plant species in Green-Wood Cemetery appears to be beneficial for wildlife.
