It was a beautiful September morning when at 8 am we met our leader, Rob Jett, to begin an eventful walk through Green-Wood Cemetery in search of fall migrants. The day was incredibly birdy, and we saw 15 warbler species, including a Connecticut and a very cooperative Hooded Warbler! There were also many great views of flying hawks and, of course, the famous Monk Parakeets were seen and heard tending their huge colonial stick nest above the main entrance to the cemetery. Altogether, we had 50 species and a delightful day of fall birding!
