Joe Giunta, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) birded Alley Pond Park in Queens this morning under mixed clouds and sun. As we left the upper parking lot, a TURKEY VULTURE soared over. .A good start, but birding thereafter was slow and few birds were in evidence except for American Robins which were everywhere. The woods held a YELLOW-BELLIED WOODPECKER along with more common woodpeckers, Chickadees and Titmice. The only warbler was a single very pretty PALM WARBLER (our FOY). At the kettle ponds we found 10 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS along with a mix of other blackbirds..
