The CONNECTICUT WARBLER found by Peter Reisfeld Saturday was refound by myself and Ian Resnick this morning,8:00am, at the "Nutmeg Meadow", east of the 76th Ave. parking lot. It put in a brief appearance on one of the small trees in the "meadow" and then went down into the mugwort.
There were nice areas of activity between the parking lot and the ballfields, though not as much diversity as reported last weekend. The ballfields and wooded pond areas were, in contrast, very quiet. Highlights included: Ruby-throated Hummingbird (many) Empidonax Flycatcher Eastern Phoebe Red-eyed Vireo House Wren Carolina Wren Veery Black-and-white Warbler Connecticut Warbler Common Yellowthroat American Redstart Northern Parula Magnolia Warbler Black-throated Blue Warbler Scarlet Tanager Rose-breasted Grosbeak (at least 6) Common Grackle After, I birded Oakland Lake at mid-day, and found a good assortment of birds, mostly at the far end. Highlights were 2 Wood Ducks, a Pied-billed Grebe, American Wigeon, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, another Empidomax flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, Blue-headed Vireo (near the enhance), Ruby-crowned Kinglet,a loud chipping Northern Waterthrush, Magnolia and Black-and-White Warblers, Northern Parula, Common Yellowthroat, and at least 4 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. * * A good fall birding day. * * *Donna L.

The ball field was so dead that I started to walk back to my car to leave. Luckily I stopped at little Alley and had a flurry of warblers including Blackburnian, Tennessee and Blue winged. The rest of the park was relatively quiet but just before leaving for real I stopped by the mugwort meadow east of the 76St parking lot (knicknamed the Nutmeg meadow by Eric Miller). In the low branches of a mature white oak tree just north of the mugwort was an immature Connecticut warbler.
