[nysbirds-l] Le Conte's Sparrow, Dickcissel at Floyd Bennett Field
At 3:46 pm today Robb Jett posted this on the BKBIRD text alert system: <<< RobJett: LeConte's Sparrow at Floyd Bennett 100 yds west of end of Archery Rd. I marked area with large log across path >>> It occurred to me that not all interested parties subscribe to that service and so I am cross posting here. I wasn't with Rob when he found the Le Conte's, and didn't see it myself, but I was with him and Heydi Lopes earlier in the day when eagle-eyed Rob picked a Dickcissel and a Philadelphia Vireo out of a large, fast-moving mixed flock of sparrows, buntings and vireos in the vine-covered trees and scrub of the North Forty. At the time he found the LCSP I was sitting in a French bistro in Manhattan. C'est la vie... An excellent annotated map of Floyd Bennett can be found on Robs blog The City Birder.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Ross's Gull - Quebec
While this is definitely out of our area, it is worth noting that the Ross' Gull was still present today in Chambly, Quebec, although not at the waste water treatment plant lagoons where it has typically been seen since it's discovery on November 10th. Rob Bate and I found it via distant scope view from the Chambly Marina at approximately 2:30 pm. We called Gary Chapin, who was standing vigil at the sewage lagoons with Pat & John Thaxton and many other birders from near and far, and they all raced over and got on the bird. Even at distance its extremely small size, long wings, small head, tiny bill, very pale gray mantle and distinct pink body coloration were distinctive. It's a beautiful bird, very rare outside of its high arctic home, and as Joe said, worth the 5 1/2 hour drive from NYC.
