Other highlights from the Bronx yesterday were COMMON REDPOLLS at Rodman's Neck near the parking lot. At least 9 in a mixed flock that included American Goldfinches. Very likely the same flock that Eric Miller, Arie Gilbert, Bob Hayes and I found last week. Many thanks to Rob Jett who clued me in to their continued presence in the area. The birds were feeding on sweet gum balls so check the nearby trees if you go looking for them.
Later on in Queens, my friend Andria and I had a very obliging BROWN THRASHER near the soccer field at Alley Pond Park. A walk into the woods did not yield much, but we were pleasantly surprised to hear and see 2 COMMON RAVENS as we exited the "blue trail" heading back towards the upper Parking lot. The RAVENS were flying in a south westerly direction. Good and Responsible Birding!
