Yet another Bluegrass lane experience this evening as my dog and I flushed 8 SNIPE and 10 KILLDEER from the wet field to the west of Bluegrass. We did not go In far enough to see the Vesper Sp. but I did see the pair of AM WIGEON and GREEN-w TEAL that Jay must have flushed.
A sky watch on the late afternoon in my yard produced 2 high and fast-flying COMMON LOONS, a SHARP SHINNED HAWK, and an imm. BALD EAGLE.

We missed the Vesper Sparrow, although we were looking for them, but we did find a pair each of AMERICAN WIGEON, GREEN-WINGED TEAL, and RING-NECKED DUCK on the pond by Liddell Lab, 2 WILSON'S SNIPE in the wet areas around the pond (both landed in the dry cornfield to the west of the pond), 2 SAVANNAH SPARROWS just north of the pond, and a calling BROWN THRASHER in the hedgerow on the south side of the garden plots. -Jay On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 6:24 PM, Brad Walker <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, On a walk around Bluegrass Lane with my housemate, I found a lone VESPER SPARROW on the north side of the large oval horse enclosure on the south side of the woodlot. The bird flew up from the base of a fencepost as our dog ran by and perched on the fence for a minute before the dog scared it off to the wood edge. -- Brad Walker -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Jay McGowan Macaulay Library Cornell Lab of Ornithology [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
