I along with several other people had great looks at the Lark Sparrow at Croton Point today between 2-3 PM. The bird does tend to wander around the area at the bottom of the nature center driveway but with some quiet persistence it usually comes back to the area, often in the company of House Sparrows or Juncos. There were several Golden-Crowned Kinglets in the nearby spruces as well.
Stefan Martin and I birded the rest of the park afterwards which yielded atleast 5 Savannah Sparrows, 2 American Tree Sparrows and a Northern Harrier on the Landfill as well as a Catbird in the phragmites east of the Landfill. Whoever is doing the Peekskill Christmas Count there this Saturday take note. -- 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/ --
