Hi, those Luddites among us who don’t use Facebook can’t access this posting (at least I can’t). Any chance of a posting to a publicly accessible site?
Thanks, Rick From: ebirds...@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ebirds...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Corey Finger 10000birdsblog...@gmail.com [ebirdsnyc] Sent: Monday, December 21, 2015 5:02 PM To: New York <nysbirds-l@cornell.edu>; Nyc ebirds <ebirds...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [ebirdsnyc] Potential (Probable?) Brewer's Sparrow in Flushing Meadows Corona Park The Clay-colored Sparrow found by Cesar Castillo during the Queens County CBC yesterday might actually be a Brewer's Sparrow. When I got home from seeing the bird this morning I posted an image on Facebook. This afternoon, a very short time ago, I got texts from Tom Johnson and Doug Gochfeld asking for more photos as they think it's a possible Brewer's Sparrow. I've since added more photos to the original image on Facebook. Photos can be seen on the New York Birders Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYBirders/ In the field the bird did seem a bit pale but I never would have thought to check if it was a Brewer's Sparrow or not. I chalked the paleness up to my rarely seeing Clay-colored Sparrows and not being as familiar with them as I could be. For those who want to go after this bird, the pin on this map is the location of the "Meditation Garden," a pine grove that serves as ground zero for the junco flock with which this sparrow, the Lark Sparrow, and the Pine Warblers travel, though the flock does range widely: https://www.google.com/maps/dir//40.743895,-73.840194/@40.7438245,-73.8398589,350m/data=!3m1!1e3 <https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.743895,-73.840194/@40.7438245,-73.8398589,350m/data=!3m1!1e3> Easiest car access is from College Point Blvd and closest legal parking is under the Van Wyck, a bit north of where you enter from College Point Blvd. Hopefully, this is a Brewer's Sparrow.
