I was one of the birders who saw the bird at this spot (email below) around 12:30.  It was my second attempt in two days. For those new to this park, this is along a trail that loops around a glacial "kettle".  If you zoom in to the area on Google maps, the trail is called "Brooklyn Queens Green

The Virginia's Warbler was seen twice between 11:30 and 12:30 at the location where it was seen at 1:45 yesterday. This is on the trail on the south side of the gully, at a high point with good visibility into the gully. There is a new twist - an Orange-crowned Warbler - that may throw birders off.
