[Ryan MacLean]

Besides Glenn's negative report, did anyone see the Bohemian Waxwing at Jones 
Beach today? Was hoping to go look for it tomorrow. Thanks!

[nysbirds-l] Black Vultures in Manhattan

[Alan Drogin]

Was taking a Riverside Park sunset walk along the partially frozen Hudson River 
looking for any sea life sheltering from the cold and from the 70th street long 
pier I saw 4 Black Vultures flying very high over 72nd and West Side Highway.  
I was hoping they’d come closer but they were catching the fierce northwest 
tailwind inland.

Stay warm,
Alan Drogin

[nysbirds-l] Barrier beach tundra (Jones Beach & RMSP)

[glennq]

Soccer was canceled today (a miracle in itself) so I managed to get down to 
Jones Beach West End early this afternoon. My God, was it cold.

At the coast guard station, there was a large cooperative flock of Snow 
Buntings, Horned Larks, and Lapland Longspurs feeding on the lawn just east of 
the restroom building. Using the car as a windscreen, I was able to get out and 
carefully count 16 longspurs amongst about 100 buntings and larks. This is the 
most longspurs I have ever seen together. Good views of various plumages. I did 
not really look for the Bohemian Waxwing but did find several Chipping Sparrows 
in the median.

Heading back east, there were both a light morph and dark morph Rough-legged 
Hawks working the median of Ocean Parkway in the vicinity of Cedar Beach. Good 
views, too.

Finally, the previously reported Lapland Longspur was still feeding with Snow 
Buntings and Horned Larks in the grass at the entrance to Robert Moses SP field 
5. I found another dark phase Rough-legged Hawk over the Fire Island hawk watch 
stand, heading east. Can’t say for sure if it was the same bird from Cedar 
Beach.
