Every bird seen in my Clinton Hill backyard since Spring 2020. Currently at 60 species!

Having changed out some non-native plants for some native ones (thanks to @HNPontheMap and @Garden4Wildlife ), it was really gratifying to have a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the garden today for the first ever time, taking nectar from one of my new Cardinal Flower plants!

@alexmwang1992 @BirdCentralPark Just saw one in my garden in Clinton Hill too!

Had a fantastic day with the birding legend of Dominica, Dr. Birdy

This beautiful Cooper's Hawk spent a good 10mins today jumping around in my little garden in Clinton Hill

@BirdBrklyn Thank you! Now at 63 species seen in the garden!

[ClintonHillBirding @ClintonHillBird]

Would love help confirming Merlin’s ID of this as a Clay-colored Sparrow @BirdBrklyn - taken in the garden last month!

Blue-headed Vireo found this morning on the busy sidewalk of Fulton St in Bed-Stuy, outside Lincoln Market. Presumably a building strike. Very sad given their relative rarity here.

Is this a spotted lanternfly bug I just spotted in my Brooklyn garden? Just crushed it, just in case 👹

And a Baltimore Oriole #birdbk

Posting some of the autumnal visitors to the garden these last two weeks. First up, a beautiful Northern Parula. #birdbk

[ClintonHillBirding @ClintonHillBird]

These were seen on a crazy day on 14th Sep when the garden was flooded with migrants on the same day after a quiet summer. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. #birdbk

[ClintonHillBirding @ClintonHillBird]

Having noticed nothing in my garden all summer, I looked out for 20mins this morning and saw:

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Common Yellowthroat
Baltimore Oriole
BTB Warbler
House Wren
Hermit Thrushes
Goldfinch
Catbird
An unidentified warbler
An unidentified flycatcher

Nuts!

Sounds from my garden at night - is this a frog or a cricket or a cicada, or something else entirely?
