A brief stop at Flushing Meadows/Corona Park earlier today yielded the wintering Clay-colored Sparrow associating with a small Dark-eyed Junco flock. The birds were in the same general area as previously reported and due to the snow covered grass all the birds were feeding along the roadside edges. I saw no sign of the Lark Sparrow. A small group of Brant were the only geese of note and 91 Great-blacked Gulls seemed like a decent number considering there were few other large gulls. An adult Bald Eagle put up all the waterfowl and gulls as it drifted south over Meadow Lake.
