The Lark Sparrow continues in the formerly described area along the dirt road to the Fire Island lighthouse. At one point (shortly after 7:45 AM) it flew a considerable distance to the east when disturbed by a loud trundling vehicle, dropping in by the housing complex with the red roofs. But I just got word from Joan Quinlan that it has returned to its favored spot west of the lighthouse driveway.
While there was almost no visible migration detectable overhead, the puckerbrush was very active this morning at the east end of the boardwalk from Field 5 (near the hawkwatch). Among the nice variety of migrants (and an obvious influx of sparrows) was a beautiful Clay-colored Sparrow.
