[nysbirds-l] Kissena Corridor, Queens County

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

[nysbirds-l] Kissena Corridor, afternoon 9/25

Fellow Birders; I am back in NYC for a spell, and this afternoon managed to find a few hours to bird my local park, Kissena Corridor, in Flushing, Queens. I was late getting out, so the park was almost silent, but I worked a small patch east of the 146th St entrance very methodically for

Fellow Birders, Despite the inclement weather, and some obligations in the after, I was able to get out to a couple of Queens County Parks this morning. I first visited Forest Pond Park, and when thunder coulds started to come in I beat a hasty retreat, and was able to spend a couple of hours

[nysbirds-l] Typo in earlier post re IHP

Oops! I meant to say White-crowned SPARROW in my earlier post-- thanks to Andrew for catching the error. 19 warblers and one good sparrow was what I wanted most-- it was a "2nd Life" bird for me! Sorry for any confusion! Cheers, Ken Allaire El Valle de Anton, Panama skypename: kenallaire --

[nysbirds-l] Inwood Hill Park, Manhattan 5/10

Fellow Birders; It appears that spring has finally sprung! James Knox and I spent the morning and part of the afternoon birding Inwood Hill Park, enjoying an excellent variety and volume of migrant species, working a tight area at the top of the ridge, with a detour past the inlet to and

[nysbirds-l] Say's Phoebe no, but other good birds

Fellow Birders; As noted previously by Shane Blodgett, the Say's Phoebe did not seem to be present at yesterday's location in Prospect Park. Perhaps it is still in the park, but the area with sumacs was overrun with unleashed dogs; now matter how well they are behaved, the have to

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Warbler continues at Oakland Lake

Fellow Birders; Early this afternoon, Eric Miller and I enjoyed the continuing Hooded Warbler at Oakland Lake, Queens County. It was last seen at about 1:00, having moved to the north side of the Springfield Blvd entrance, in a very moist and densely vegetated ravine. It seemed to favor

[nysbirds-l] Hooded Warbler Oakland Lake-- yes

Fellow Birders; After waiting for almost 90 minutes this morning, I finally spotted the Hooded Warbler at Oakland Lake (Queens County), albeit briefly, as it flew upstream quickly. I stayed only long enough to alert a couple of birders in the area. The bird has been seen at the southwest

[nysbirds-l] Owl locations-- thanks!

Fellow Birders; Thanks for the overwhelming (and rapid!) response to my query re: owl roosting locations. This reminds me of how much I loved being a part of this community for many years-- its members have always been generous to a fault, and I've tried to approach my life and birding

[nysbirds-l] Northern Goshawk in Queens, and an owl query

Fellow Birders; Early this morning (about 7:30) I stepped out in front of my mother's home in Flushing, Queens county, and a large raptor flew in front of me, perhaps 25' away, and landed in a tree a couple of doors down. Fortunately by bins were just inside the door, I was able to grab
