[nysbirds-l] Clay-colored Sparrow in the pumpkin patch, Wading River
We went pumpkin picking at the Lewin Farm Pumpkin Patch on 25A just past Sound Ave near Wading River, Long Island and were treated with a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW hanging out with a bunch of Yellow-rumped Warblers who were hawking near the wooded fenceline on the eastern side of the field. There were lots of Tree Sparrows flying around above the pumpkin patch until a MERLIN came flying overhead and cleared the air. An unexpected and surprising nice couple of finds for a site we weren't even planning on birding! -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
