[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow continues, Central Park, NYC - Monday, 8/29; + note on Eur. M.-Harrier

2022-08-29 Thread Tom Fiore
At Manhattan's (in N.Y. City) Central Park, an adult Lark Sparrow was 
continuing in the same area of the north end of that park to Monday, August 
29th, photo’d. again and with multiple observers. Other migrants also are 
about, more reports in due course on some of the others.

- - 
On the *extra-limital* side of vastly-rarer (in all of the Americas) birds, the 
Eurasian Marsh-Harrier (also called Western Marsh Harrier in some references) 
was apparently not seen at all, in the state of *Maine*, on Sunday, 8/28, and 
it might be on the move. If so, again - keep eyes out and try to photo or video 
any harrier potentially passing that appears at all “different”. There is 
certainly also still a good chance the rare-on-west-side-of-Atlantic raptor 
might be in the same general area of mid-coast Maine where first noted 
(including off on any of various islands) or within that sizeable state, which 
has many potential areas such a bird might utilize. This bird could however 
potentially be winging its’ way now, through any number of states in the 
northeastern quadrant of the country (and, if it is a wanderer in another 
direction, to any of multiple Canadian provinces / islands).  P.S., the area 
where the rare-here harrier was last being seen over a 2-day period, 8/26 & 
8/27, is fairly popular for 'local-and-beyond' birders, and is likely to 
continue to be observed on a regular basis into the coming month[s].

Peaceful and chill birding in late-summer warmth,

Had it feeding on the ground, east of the handball courts around 8am. 
Repeatedly flushed by unleashed dogs and when last seen had retreated to a tree

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow continues @ Jones Beach WE2

2017-08-24 Thread Andrew Baksh
Gary Strauss just called to report that the Lark Sparrow continues at WE2. He 
indicated it is currently near the eastern most exit of the lot.

Many thanks to Gary who in his own words felt that a "+" report would be 
welcoming news to those folks leaving work who might want to try for the bird. 
A very altruistic gesture.

others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick

 From 4-5:30 PM I walked from the turnaround to the police station in an 
unsuccessful attempt to find the Vesper Sparrow and 2 Red-headed Woodpeckers 
that were seen yesterday. Upon leaving, I drove through the western entrance to 
the WE2 lot and on the right side just past the beginning of the entrance 
(before the parking lot) was a Lark Sparrow around 5:30

2011-01-05 Thread Carl Starace
Hello Everyone,Dick Belanger and I entered the Epcal entrance this
morning and found Kathy Klecan  already having nice scope views of the Lark
Sparrow. With it were a few Tree and 18 Field Sparrow. We spent a good deal
of time along the runways later and came up with 3 Redtails, 2 Northern
Harrier, 2 Light Morph Rough legged Hawks and a few Horned Larks. At the
uppermost field along Route 51's west side in Eastport there were 2
Redtails,  2 Northern Harrier, one a Grey Ghost, and 9 Eastern Bluebirds.
Good January Birding,   Carl Starace
