 Don't miss the next Queens County Bird Club meeting on Wednesday, January 17, 
2024, at 7:30 PM at Alley Pond Environmental Center, 229-10 Northern Boulevard, 
Douglaston, NY 11362.

Alison & Karlo Mirth will present "A Bumble in the Falklands: Shags, Johnny 
Rooks, Mollymawks and Penguins, of Course"
In November 2019, Alison and Karlo Mirth spent a week in the Falkland Islands, 
hoping to see at least four species of penguins, and with luck a fifth species. 
Flying from remote island to remote island, they encountered spectacular 
scenery, wild weather, and great birds. One of the many highlights included 
spending an afternoon (by themselves!) observing up close the amusing antics of 
a colony of two thousand Southern Rockhopper Penguins.

[nysbirds-l] MacGillivrays Warbler, Tues 12/26 still in Bronx Co., NY as for past 3 days

2023-12-26 Thread Tom Fiore
The nicely plumaged MacGillvrays Warbler - for which we again thank Julian 
Batista of Riverdale, Bronx County, NYC - was again being seen, with a bit of 
patience, at the lawn location, huge pink toys too, a bit north of the nursing 
care building, on Tuesday 12/26 - paved driveway into which no birders should 
drive, but walk-in from Independence Ave, or from West 231 St. Parking is 
usually available within a couple of short blocks, try Independence north of 
231st, for example. There are also buses that stop not far away, which connect 
at least to the number 1 subway line nearest stop of which is 231 St, then on 
BX10 bus line westbound, to the W. 232 Street stop along the Henry Hudson 
parkway service road, from that bus stop a modest walk, 10 minutes or so, west 
to Independence, south to 231 St. The bus ride might be 10-30 minutes according 
to the hour, can be busy or not-busy.

A very few people seeking the skulky warbler over these last few days have 
wandered into and on to private lawns in front of nearby private homes. Put 
simply, do not do this. We have all enjoyed a good reception from the folks at 
the nursing care facility and in general from others. Lets keep it that way, 
thank you!

And thanks again to all giving reports of ongoing sightings,

Good luck,

Tom Fiore
