Hi All, To my knowledge, the Lark Sparrow was not seen today, but Tom Perlman found a Vesper Sparrow ~10am, just north of the compost area. Knowing I was in the park, he emailed me, so I sent out a text alert to NYNYBIRD then headed over there. He and I saw the bird again ~10:30 for maybe 30 seconds before it disappeared with a mixed flock of sparrows. Hopefully others were able to relocate it.
Also of note were two rather bright Cape Mays seen feeding at sapsucker wells on the west side of the Great Hill, just west of the rest rooms. Cape Mays have been noted in these trees for at least the past ten days, but this is the first time I've had two bright ones together. The full eBird checklist, with instructions on where to look for the above, as well as a record shot of the Vesper, can be found here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15392364 Good Birding, Karen Fung NYC -- 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/[email protected]/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/ --
