A Northern Wheatear is again being seen in Dekorte Park, Lyndhurst
New Jersey & the following give some info (including possible parking
issues Wed. due to a conference). This is within a relatively short
drive of the greater NYC metro area.

Possible public transit: "New Jersey Transit Bus Line No.192 Clifton/
New York stops weekdays at Chubb Avenue and Valley Brook Avenue. Turn
Left onto Valley Brook Avenue and walk to the end where you enter the
park. Walking distance is within 1 mile." - N.B., I can't vouch for
reliability of BUS info. Found at: http://www.njwildlifetrails.org/

Incidentally, another N. Wheatear has been seen in Ohio, to at least
Tuesday 9/15.
Good luck,
