Although not very cooperative today (only two of eight visitors saw it), the Lark Sparrow did show a few times. A hawk was around this afternoon, which probably had something to do with its longer absences. We have not seen a hawk here in a couple of weeks - bad timing.
Hopefully, the Lark Sparrow will return tomorrow. Directions We live at 4777 East Lake Road, Burt, NY 14028. However, this is not accurate on Google maps. So, just use this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=4777+East+Lake+Road,+Wilson,+NY+14172&rls=com. microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=4777+E+Lake+Rd,+Wilson,+NY+1 4172&gl=us&ei=JkvkTIv9KML6lweip9niDg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum= 1&ved=0CBQQ8gEwAA This is in the Town of Wilson (Niagara County) about halfway between the northern termini of Rt 425 and Rt 78 (roughly three miles from either). There is a common driveway on the north side of Rt 18 (Lake Road) that leads to several homes, including ours. Look for a hanging sign in front of an area of woods and brush with our number on it (4777), on the west side of the driveway. There is a wooden stockade fence to the east of the driveway. After turning into the common driveway, make the first or second left into our driveway. Please park so that you allow at least one way in and out. Good birding!
