Another new Queens bird for Corey!) Isaac Grant, who is doing a New York City big year and was on the boat as well, was just as relieved to get the bird within New York City’s boundaries.

Tanner’s Spring is its name and the small pool of water, really more of a large puddle, is a favorite place for New York City birders and bird photographers to get great looks at and images of a wide variety of birds coming in to bathe and drink. Nashville Warbler Vermivora ruficapilla.

It had been a long time since I’d seen any warblers besides Yellow and Nashville ; it had been a long time since I’d seen any Northern Cardinals or Blue Jays , period. Oh, and there was one other birdy thing that happened in New York City. It had been a long time since I birded Central Park.

Kissena Corridor Park underwent habitat restoration over the last two years which seemed to consist of the New York City Parks Department ripping everything out except some native trees and plants, planting saplings, and regularly applying herbicides to areas where invasive plants tried to take over the park.

Every spring they totally steal the show in the northeast and you really can’t blame birders for abandoning their jobs, their families, and their sanity as they rush to New York City’s abundant and amazing parks to see the show live and in technicolor. Or the Nashville Warblers like the one at the top of this post?

Unfortunately, this has been a very dry spring in New York City so, as you can see in the photos above, intrepid Queens birders have made makeshift bird baths to take the place of what is normally a vernal pool. At least one Nashville Warbler came through and I didn’t hear a single person call it a Connecticut Warbler.
