A few digiscoped photos of the Calverton Lark Sparrow can be viewed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgluth_brb/sets/72157625662854899/ They were taken in the afternoon after the bird had relocated north to Route 25.
Missed getting a second helping of the LeConte's Sparrow (saw it Saturday), but some other birds seen on the surrounding EPCAL grasslands, as well as just across Route 25 included: Eastern Meadowlark (25), Snow Bunting (30), Tree Sparrow (12), Kestrel (1 female), Chipping Sparrow (1). Earlier in the day, at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale, I found a flock of 52 Horned Larks while unsuccessfully searching for the Barnacle Goose. They were on the large field just north of the dump area at the south end of the cemetery, then flew across New Highway to Republic Airport. No Lapland Longspurs were seen among them. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
