Hi all, I apologize for not providing the detailed descriptions of the location of the Lark Sparrow that I reported re-finding earlier. The Lark Sparrow was found this morning on the Great Hill in Central Park by other birders. Someone (I don't know who) sent out a text alert to NYNYBIRD (the text alert system I set up last year for New York county, i.e. Manhattan and nearby lying island like Roosevelt and Randall's Island).
I went out after work and was lucky to see it with the help of a fellow birder. Again, being in the small community of Manhattan birders I thought that the sighting was known by all, but in retrospect, of course I should have included a precise location. This was a new bird for my County list and it was spectacular! I'm hoping it will stick through tomorrow, so that others will have a chance to see it. - Anders Peltomaa Manhattan PS. If you're interested in finding out more about the NYNYBIRD text alert system - head over to nynybird.wordpress.com It works really well. Rare sightings are reported within seconds or minutes of discoveries. -- 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/ --
