My #3 grandson, Robert Joseph Connors, celebrated his 12th birthday today,
causing us to be in Rockville Centre, and enabling me to enjoy some birding
time. Arriving at Hempstead Lake S.Pk, ~ 1015, I ran into Sy Shiff & Joe Giunta
as they were finishing their loop, and I thank Joe for pointing out my FOS Pine
Warbler. After hearing what they had seen, and not seen (the chat), I decided
to try for it anyway, and had the same results. I did, however, come across a
loose flock of 6-7 FOS Palm Warblers, as I headed toward the chat's last
reported location.
I then traveled farther west to Alley Pond Pk., where I had similar
success...half of it due to the sharp-eyes of Ed Becher. Although I found 2 FOS
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, 2 FOS Rusty Blackbirds and a feeding flock of 10-12
FOS Chipping Sparrows on my own, it was Ed, after meeting him at Turtle Pond,
who pointed out the following FOS species: Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned
Kinglet and Black and White Warbler.
Cheers,Bob
