[nysbirds-l] western Fly Pic; Queens Notes

2015-11-22 Thread Steve Walter 
For anyone that needs to see more, I've posted a picture of the flycatcher
at my web site http://stevewalternature.com/ .

On my way back through Queens, I took a spin around Flushing Meadow Lake. No
birds of note, but something of interest. At the south end of the lake,
there is work in progress, accompanied by a sign saying "Habitat Restoration
and Stormwater Treatment at Meadow Lake -- Anticipated Completion: Winter
2006". We'll see what that leads to down the road.

It's been a while since there's been a major rarity in my neck of the woods
in Queens. For now, the best I can do is a run of the mill rarity -- which
means not really rare at all. An uncommon-ty? The most recent is an
Orange-crowned Warbler at Douglaston Marsh Saturday.

[nysbirds-l] last location of flycatcher in Central Park

2015-11-22 Thread Andrew Block 
Can someone please let me know the last location of the Western Flycatcher 
that's in Central Park.  I'm planning on coming down tomorrow to look for it.  
I've heard it's around the boathouse, is that still true?  Where's this oven 
people are talking about?  Thanks much.
