Breeder
Also spring and fall migrant. Probable breeder in the NYBBA online species lists for blocks: 2003 5849B; 1985 5849D. (Possible breeder in 1985 5949A.) These blocks have high probability that breeding confirmations occur within park boundaries. Note: neither FBF or JBWR checklists record this species as a breeder. This probable confirmation may be an upgrade to one of the lists. Probable breeding also for block: 1985 5950C. (Possible breeding in 1985 5949B). These blocks also encompass suitable habitat that is outside of the park boundaries. Also possible breeder in 1997 in Zuzworsky's Jamaica Bay I&M reference.; Data Source: NYBBA web site (2004) - historic species lists as of 1985 and current species lists as of 2003 for blocks 5848A, 5848B, 5849B, 5849D, 5949A, 5949B, 5949C, 5949D and 5950C.
