Kissena Corridor Community Garden & Kissena Corridor Park, Queens, NY 11 October
Joe Giunta, Sam Jannazzo, and I (Sy Schiff) revisited the Community Gardens. Today, most of the activity in the garden was toward the opposite end. Of interest was a MONK PARAKEET in a flock of Starlings, both KINGLETS, a fleeting ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER and a BLUE GROSBEAK seen momentarily, the latter two only by Sam.. Total warbler species five. The area was visited by a SHARP-SHINNED and COOPER'S HAWK and a KESTREL. There were lots of sparrows in the corridor park, but all of the common variety. Of the 8 potential Connecticut warblers seen today, 4 were Common Yellowthroats and 4 were Nashville Warblers. The day was lovely, a fitting end of the summer.
