[nysbirds-l] Alley Pond & Kissena Parks, Queens - CT Warbler and more

2010-09-26 Thread Jeffrey Ritter
After a slow start from 7AM to 9AM in Alley Pond this morning, the mid-morning 
activity was good. Notable species included Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, 
Red-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Junco, Cape May Warbler, Blue-headed Vireo and 
another Philadelphia Vireo. Its been a great September for Philly V's at least 
in Alley Pond. Also good numbers of both Kinglets. These birds seen with Eric 
Miller, Bob and Coleen Veltri, and Howie.

Around noon, I tried the asphalt path that goes through the Long Island 
Expressway/Cross Island Parkway interchange starting at Douglaston Parkway 
(across from the shopping mall). I observed a Connecticut Warbler just north of 
the northernmost ramp where the asphalt path turns left down into the east 
Alley marsh.  The bird appeared to be an immature. I got a brief but good look 
at the bird at the top of the bushes on the left side of the path opposite a 
fenced enclosure before it disappeared into the brush. I was unable to find the 
bird again over the next half hour and when I returned a couple of hours later.

Birds observed this afternoon in Kissena Park with Eric Miller and Coleen 
Veltri included Prairie Warbler and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.
