Hi All, The Northern Wheatear is a wonderful, cooperative bird that many have been lucky to view.
I’m passing along a request form the Park management - please refrain from parking on the road, road shoulder or the parking spots associated with the on-going construction. It’s become an unsafe situation and Park Police has had to respond a few times to get birders to move. To accommodate the need for parking, the Park management will open up Field 8 for general parking - it’s the parking field closest to the bird. Thank you, Annie McIntyre Regional Environmental Manager New York State Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation <") ( \ _/_|`` From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Baksh Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2018 1:49 PM To: nysbirds-l <[email protected]> Cc: Nyc ebirds <[email protected]> Subject: [nysbirds-l] Northern Wheatear continues @ Heckscher State Park LI ATTENTION: This email came from an external source. Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails. I had crippling views of the continuing and very cooperative Northern Wheatear at Heckscher State Park this AM. The bird is comfortably feeding in the medians near the cottages. For those of you not familiar with the área (I have had a few inquires), here are GPS coordinates that will get you close to the área. 40.703919, -73.14928 Please be aware of construction taking place near the site as well as use common sense sorting out parking. As a side note, I returned to Queens to find my feeders attended by several male Purple Finches. Perhaps, I’ll have my second record of Evening Grosbeaks in my backyard soon enough...
