I visited Alley Pond Park this morning between 6:45 Am and 9:00 Am. It was
relatively quite and the amount of leaf coverage made finding birds by eye
quite difficult. There were quite a few thrushes around (didn't get good
enough looks to determine which species) and the sounds of Ovenbirds,
At 2:30 this afternoon, a White-winged Dove flew past me as I walked
northward from Field 2 of Jones Beach-West End along the western exit road.
It was about 3 feet above ground, came past about 15-20 feet from me, and
continued eastward about 100 feet before disappearing from view around the
Wow. What a fantastic morning in Prospect Park. Three of us from CUNY started
at Grand Army Plaza at 8:00 and were rewarded with two special birds right
away. There was a Cape May warbler in the conifers behind the Stranahan statue
and a Philadelphia vireo not far away in the underbrush.
Thus morning Shai Mitra and Pat Lindsay found a White-faced Ibis in Scoy
Pond on the Grace Estate in East Hampton (Suffolk Co.). The bird was still
present when I left it at about 8:50.

Apparently I gave the wrong parking lot number. I'm told it's lot 3. Taking
exit 18, Eagle Ave, south from the Southern State, it's the entrance just
before the road curves sharply left. Go left just after the toll booth, not
right towards the tennis courts. Sorry for any confusion
