Fellow Birders; I once again got out to my local Kissena Corridor in Flushing late this morning-- overall activity was a bit slower than yesterday, although the species count was similar. With some work I relocated the western-type Palm Warbler, this time in paths along the community garden on the Colden St side of the corridor. Accidental bird-baths attracted many birds, most of them goldfinches and sparrows, but Palm and Common Yellowthroat were seen with patience. No Olive-sided FC today. Cedar Waxwing numbers were high. Additions to yesterday's list were Ruby-throated Hummingbird (male), a cooperative Least Flycatcher, and a female Scarlet Tanager. No good sparrows today. By the way, if you would like to join me, contact me the night before-- if left to my own devices, I will sleep in, as medication makes me tired unless I have a specific reason to wake up. I plan to visit the same area each of the next three days, at least. Parking spots are easy to find at the 150th St entrance, off Booth Memorial. I can walk there, or drive if I plan to visit another part of the park (I'm still ticked that I missed the Bell's Vireo!). Hope to see many of you in the field. Cheers,
