A 1st winter *BLUE GROSBEAK* found on Sunday, continued today near a weedy area just off the wood chip path that leads towards Flushing Hospital. The bird was favoring the seeds of what appeared to be Lambs Quarters near a huge patch of Mugwort.
Near that same area, I observed and photographed an *ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER*, which moved back and forth near the area described above and another weedy patch west of the path just near the turn. Other notables included Field Sparrow and SCARLET TANAGER the latter flagged in eBird due to I presume the date. Indigo Buntings and other more expected birds were in decent numbers but the lack and diversity of Sparrows was found to be lacking. Some photos of the aforementioned birds are posted here http://birdingdude.blogspot.com/2013/10/kissena-park-queens-report.html "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits" ~ Albert Einstein Cheers to Bipartisan Deals!
