Congrats to Mike Gottlieb for a terrific find and thank you to the folks that 
got out to Kissena Park early this AM to search. Big up to Robert Proniewych 
for the refind.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Western Flycatcher 11/2 in Queens

Ok better directions. Park on 164th near Underhill Ave. Just south of that
intersection on the west side of 164th enter the park where the guardrail
meets the nicer metal fence. Follow that path straight west. The bird has
been seen from the very first large tangle of invasive plants on the right
to 300 feet west along the same east-west path.

It is foraging very low in tangles (often invisible) in the wind but will
sometimes perch up cooperatively now that the north side of that path is
getting some sunlight. A few were on site when I left at 10 am.

No samples or vocalizations yet.

Best,
Brendan
