I didnt think these were such a big deal, but ebird seems to think these two birds are rarities for this time of year in NYC. I found a house wren at Kissena park Corridor foraging with a flock of Juncos and Goldfinches. Probably the same flock that has orange crowned warbler in it. Didnt see that one today. Also, the Indigo Bunting continues at Kissena Corridor, but was not with the flock of Juncos.

The spot is the parking lot to Assi Plaza Supermarket. Saw Lesser Scaup, Cormorant, Mallard, Canvasback, but was over extending my lunch hour and had to leave after just 5 mins. There were more birds further up the river(canal). -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
