Alley Pond Park 17 Sep Joe Giunta Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) started at the Winchester Blvd Parking Lot (entrance under the parkway). We walked towards the trees along the far side of the ball field where we finding a PHILADELPHIA and RED-EYED VIREO and a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. The few warblers in the trees were doing a great job of hiding. From there we walked to Little Alley Pond (not much doing there either) and then to the cleared area by the 76th Ave Parking Lot on the far side of the park. There, in the trees and waste high weed edges, we had a fall out of birds. In quick succession we saw among others SCARLET TANAGER, EASTERN PHOEBE, EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, 4 species of Woodpeckers, CEDAR WAXWING and TUFTED TITMOUSE. Twelve species of Warblers included Nashville Warbler, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Cape May, Black-throated Green, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, Black-and-white Warblers, American Redstart, Ovenbird and Common Yellowthroat.
A nice finish for the morning.
