The previously reported Northern Shrike at Floyd Bennett Field was relocated today, just in time for the Brooklyn CBC. It was seen by several people throughout the day actively feeding along the treeline at the back edge of Field C. I have it noted the location in blue on a Google Earth Map here:
http://g.co/maps/tnb7k Your best bet for viewing it is to park your car at the orange barricades at the intersection of the runways and either scope the back of the field from there or walk down the runway to get closer to the trees. When we first spotted the bird it was perched on top of one of the bluebird boxes at the back of the field. If the bird is not in that location, you might also check the edge of the runway across from the remote control airplane field, where Doug Gochfeld spotted it late Friday. The Marbled Godwit was not seen today.
