I visited Alley Pond Park this morning between 6:45 Am and 9:00 Am. It was relatively quite and the amount of leaf coverage made finding birds by eye quite difficult. There were quite a few thrushes around (didn't get good enough looks to determine which species) and the sounds of Ovenbirds, Canada Warblers and Rose Breasted-Grosbeaks were prevalent throughout. I did find a Northern Parula that was nearly on the forest floor on the Southside of the park near Kingsbury Ave. A Tennesse Warbler was heard but not seen near Clovefield Blvd. I also noticed the nest of a Cardinal on the south side of the Adventure Center in a tree about 6 feet off the ground. Photos of some of the birds can be seen here: http://birdsoflongisland.blogspot.com/2012/05/alley-pond-park.html
