[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Varied Thrush follow-up

[Rob Jett]

The Varied Thrush that was first spotted in Prospect Park late yesterday was 
relocated this morning. It was subsequently seen by myself and several other 
birders throughout the morning. I have created a Google map of the area where 
it has been frequenting here:

http://goo.gl/maps/wFFOd

The bird, which appears to be an adult male, seems to be restricting its 
foraging to a wooded area directly adjacent to the bridge known as "The 
Nethermead Arches" along Center Drive. While we did see it once near the steep 
ridge on the South side of the bridge, it seems to prefer the wooded hillside 
just on the North side. If you are walking through the Ravine towards the 
Nethermead Meadow, you will see a flight of stairs on your right that leads 
towards Center Drive. At the top of the stairway is a yew tree. He was observed 
feeding on the ground below that tree several times. He also moves a short 
distance South-West of that spot, but only as far as the footpath that ascends 
towards the Fallkill Falls. There are dozens of robins in the area, but he 
doesn't seem to really associate with them and sticks to feeding within the 
edges of the woods.

If you come by car, probably the most direct route is to park near Prospect 
Park Southwest and 16th Street. Walk straight in at 16th and to Center Drive. 
Continue walking until you reach the bridge.

Good birding,

Rob
