Just a few more details. the bird is staying in the small (2ft) juniper growing
next to the wire enclosure surrounding some electrical equipment. This is best
viewed from the southside.
Mike Cooper just found the Lark Sparrow. there is a Rough Leg working the trees
along the northern border.
I just checked my flickr address for the Lark Sparrow photos and what appears
is definitely not my flickr site. My apologies and i will attempt to post an
address correction (although the address seems correct).

Please have patience! Two individuals have walked out to the bush in the last
few minutes. Fortunately the sparrow is present, using the southern most of the

After getting to Middle Country Rd where do you turn to get into the airport?
I've never been to the area and have never seen directions on how to get into
the airport itself so was wondering how everyone gets in. Also, do you just
drive onto the tarmacs or what? Thanks.

I observed the Lark Sparrow on Rt. 25 (the road on the north side of the
property) just east of the main entrance to the EPCAL property at about
11:15AM, feeding with a few Savannah Sparrows in a narrow patch of grass on the
south side of the road. I had photographed the bird earlier along

A good day birding with only 1 major miss and a surpise.
Bob May, Bobby Rosetti and I (Dave Klauber) saw the Leconte's and Lark Sparrows
at Calverton, as well as some Meadowlarks. I think those responsible
photographers should take pictures of the boneheads - photographer and birder
alike -
David Klauber has an excellent idea; all we need is a place to send
these photographs for prominent display. Any ideas?

Beyond "bonehead", I wouldn't identify them at all, and I'd let the
viewer decide for himself whether what he sees in such photographs
justifies the appellation.

Went to look for the LeConte's Sparrow around 3pm to dusk with no luck but did
have many Savannah Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, and 2 Horned Larks. I heard
someone scared the sparrow away before I got there. Surprise, surprise.
