RE: Re:[nysbirds-l] [ebirdsnyc] Potential (Probable?) Brewer's Sparrow in Flushing Meadows Corona Park

2015-12-21 Thread Kevin J. McGowan 
I have depressingly little experience with Brewer’s Sparrow over the last 
couple of decades, but doesn’t the bright gray, unstreaked nape rule that 
species out and clinch Clay-colored Sparrow?

The Clay-colored Sparrow found by Cesar Castillo during the Queens County CBC 
yesterday might actually be a Brewer's Sparrow.

When I got home from seeing the bird this morning I posted an image on 
Facebook. This afternoon, a very short time ago, I got texts from Tom Johnson 
and Doug Gochfeld asking for more photos as they think it's a possible Brewer's 
Sparrow. I've since added more photos to the original image on Facebook. Photos 
can be seen on the New York Birders Facebook page here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYBirders/

In the field the bird did seem a bit pale but I never would have thought to 
check if it was a Brewer's Sparrow or not. I chalked the paleness up to my 
rarely seeing Clay-colored Sparrows and not being as familiar with them as I 
could be.

For those who want to go after this bird, the pin on this map is the location 
of the "Meditation Garden," a pine grove that serves as ground zero for the 
junco flock with which this sparrow, the Lark Sparrow, and the Pine Warblers 
travel, though the flock does range widely:

https://www.google.com/maps/dir//40.743895,-73.840194/@40.7438245,-73.8398589,350m/data=!3m1!1e3<https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.743895,-73.840194/@40.7438245,-73.8398589,350m/data=!3m1!1e3>

Easiest car access is from College Point Blvd and closest legal parking is 
under the Van Wyck, a bit north of where you enter from College Point Blvd.

Hopefully, this is a Brewer's Sparrow.

Good Birding,
Corey Finger
