[nysbirds-l] Owls in Queens NYC; morning in Kissena Park

2011-04-18 Thread Joseph O'Sullivan
While looking out my window of my Fresh Meadows, Queens apartment last
night I saw a great-horned owl.

I’m not sure where the owl came from. I know from ebird owls are seen
fairly regularly at Alley Pond Park, but that park is a few miles away
from my apartment. From photos I was shown by another birder a few
years ago large owls were nesting in Kissena Park. Kissena Park is a
few blocks away from my apartment. Maybe the owl was from Kissena
Park.

Has anyone else seen owls in central Queens outside of Alley Pond Park?

This morning at Kissena Park I spotted a red-shouldered hawk and the
five species of sparrows.
