I just found a VESPER SPARROW in a section of Alley Pond Park (Queens) that I don't normally check (but I had a few minutes to fill). Being that it's a weekday in October, the ball fields near 73rd Avenue and 224 St. are quiet, allowing some birds to hang around. 2 Eastern Bluebirds were also here. The Vesper twice perched on the batting cage closest to the above intersection.
