Had a similar experience to Ken (but with no AGP). Did pick a few decent sparrows with a (the continuing) LARK SPARROW at Robert Moses (Field 2), a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (Field 5), and a LINCOLN'S SPARROW at Jones Beach (fisherman's road, West End).
Also had 27 PINE SISKINS at the Western end of the Jones Beach median - they were briefly in the pines, but then moved on West. A few (bad) sparrow shots here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11701513 -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
