Thanks, Willie, for this amazing report from the Lake Ontario shore.
Your scooping the quintessential beach bird of a Lark Sparrow is one thing (we
couldn't find one today on LI despite intensive searching), but the waterbird
migration you describe is especially striking and thought-provoking.
This morning Dave Tetlow found a LARK SPARROW with a big flock of Chipping
Sparrows in Greece, Monroe County. A group of five birders saw the bird in
the early afternoon in the same area, again with several Chipping Sparrows.
This is at the intersection of Hincher Road and Hogan Point Road. We saw
A thoughtful person pointed out that I meant Robert Moses field 2.

I just saw a mention on Facebook that the Zone-tailed Hawk meandering
around the northeast this fall was seen moving past Lighthouse Point, CT
earlier today. I have sent an email out for further details as what was
posted to the CT list mentions nothing of the bird's movement when the
sighting
Zone Tailed Hawk reported at Lighthouse Point Park hawkwatch in New Haven CT at
10:58. The bird apparently headed east but all NY state hawkwatches should keep
an eye out this week.

feet.
