A lapland longspur has been seen and heard this am. (the third straight day) from the center road of landfill. STAY ON two main roads only — center and east side of landfill. There has been a major effort by a lot of folks on the restoration of this important and unique southern NY tier grassland for breeding and migrating birds. Try not to mess it up for that slightly better view or photo. The pipit flock seems to be growing 40 birds perhaps more; landfill also inundated w Palm Warblers this am. A few bobolinks still around. Savannah's too and hopefully Yom Kippur as it usually does brings some more sparrow species to the landfill. Good raptors too 10+ kestrel, coopers, N. Harrier, Bald Eagle, many osprey.
