Re: [nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting @ Alley Pond Park Queens County
Ok,Thanks Arie for the detailed map. This map is very accurate except for the getting to the upper winchester lot. I tested it with my addy and it brought me to the grand central on-ramp(try it) Basically the entrance road for the lot is under the grand central parkway and thus causing confusion. If you are coming from Union TPK you need to be on Winchester Blvd. If you are coming from the other direction from the LIE the same road is Douglaston PKY. The same road has 2 names depending which direction you are coming from. Once you get on this road the lot entrance is across the street from the sanitation dept. It runs along the Grand Central above you. There are signs saying Alley Pond Park Adventure Park. Thanks Arie for the map and details but the directions are off and will really throw people off. hope this helps a bit Jason From: Arie Gilbert To: Robert Lewis ; nysbirds-l@cornell.edu Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [nysbirds-l] Painted Bunting @ Alley Pond Park Queens County Bob et al, A live map is here: http://tinyurl.com/mrvzab for alley pond which I have updated with the location of the Punting.

Re: [nysbirds-l] JBWR 5.7.12
Thanks everyone! I got the bird ID'd It was a Willet, the legs seemed too dark to me but it was positively ID'd. Thanks everyone who responded. Jason Today I went to check out the White Face Ibis, I saw the report of a spotting at 9:15am. I got there at 10am and went to bench 8 and saw a dozen or so Glossy Ibis. All had white on the face as usual but none were WF Ibis. I did get some pics of the Ibis's along with some large Sandpiper with dark feet I could not identify. Also pics taken of Tri-Colored Heron, Juvenile Black Crown Night Heron, many assorted warblers and sparrows. If any of you are interested in helping me identifying a couple of birds (not sure if hybrids or young) I have pics that I need help on, just email me back Jason Linch Whitestone NY -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --

Eric Miller and I did NOT spot the Golden-winged today. We did hear some Blue-Winged, Yellow Throats and Eric said he heard a Kentucky warbler We did spot(and I snapped some pics) a Prairie Warbler. Juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk was also spotted and photographed. He was trying to get a squirrel. Thanks Eric for taking the time and walking with me.
