[Andrew Baksh]

For anyone interested in the status of the Smith’s Longspur. The news is not good. At 12:22 a report from birders on site, stated that the bird flew towards the Bronx Kill and is still being sought by those on the ground. Favorable places to check in the Bronx might be Ferry Point Park, Van Cortlandt Park and Pelham Bay. Croton Point Park in Westchester is also a good spot to keep an eye out. For those of you in the various bird alert groups, please cross post any positive reports.
