Kissena Corridor Park, 27 September Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) arrived at 9:30. After a short walk on macadam, we moved on to the wood chips covered paths. Not a lot of birds, but what there was was rather continuous. So we kept busy. Among the birds were: 2 RING-NECKED PHEASANTS, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, AMERICAN KESTREL, EASTERN PHOEBE, EMPIDONAX FLYCATCHER (broke up the monotony while we speculated on ID, although we left it as is), RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, BLACK-AND-WHITE,YELLOWTHROAT,PARULA, MAGNOLIA, BLACKPOLL, and BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLERS and INDIGO BUNTINGS.
We then entered the adjacent Community Gardens. The area was a delight. Almost every plot had flowers in bloom. Here birding was a bit slow but all below eye level. We did manage a few YELLOWTHROATS, PALM WARBLERS, EASTERN GOLDFINCH and best of all, a perfect TENNESSEE WARBLER to end the morning. -- 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/ --
