Re: [nysbirds-l] Croton Point Park (Saturday)
I birded the landfill Saturday afternoon and had at least four Vesper Sparrow along the drainage ditch in the SW portion while walking east between the main parking lot and RV parking lot. The exact number was hard to say, since the birds were skittish and rarely out in the open. Some were flushed, simply because I couldn't see them, but a few record shots were submitted with my eBird report: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32055721 The birds were not present when I left that area, and I did not encounter them anywhere else during my two hour walk on the landfill. Savannah Sparrows and Palm Warblers were the most abundant migrating passerines. Croton is hosting the Thunderbird Games this weekend (a Boy Scouts event) so access to some parts of the park may be difficult, but there were a few parking spaces left in the main lot when I arrived.
