Is the Putnam Trail State-owned or City-owned? The part in question seems to be
entirely within Van Cortlandt Park. I'm curious to know why DEC even has
jurisdiction within a City park.

Location question. The location was described as the north end of the meadow
leading to the peninsula. The map referenced by Arie Gilbert shows a point on
the other side of the lake, southwest of the skating rink, quite far away from
the peninsula.
Which is correct?

Is this commercial an appropriate use of nysbirds?
It is also a commercial for a proposed program that appears to be premised on

Are they closing a building or access to the entire area?
Is the area protected as a mapped park, either in the Town of Islip or the
county or state?
Does the Town have a plan to sell the property or repurpose it or are they
simply closing access because they can't afford to have staff present?

If that breech is showing unsupported trackage, it will be repaired, either by
supporting the tracks with bridging or by rebuilding the dike underneath the
tracks. That is an active MTA track for the "A" train to the Rockaways.

The Barnacle Goose was still present in a flock of about 20 Canada Geese in
the vicinity of West Island up until about 4:00 PM. At exactly 4:02 PM the
entire flock took off slowly, turned over the Vanderbilt Playground and headed

Has anyone noted the relative size of this bird or birds?
Bells Vireo is substantially smaller than the other vireos and has been likened
to or mistaken for a Ruby Crowned Kinglet (it's larger than a kinglet).

Looking at Corey's photo:
The background color of the wing is gray, not black good for bellii.
The bill shows a glint of white, not solid black also possibly good for
bellii.
Someone should take more photos and compare with museum specimens and other
known Bell's Vireo photos.
