[nysbirds-l] LeConte's Sparrow
Tried for the previously reported LeConte's Sparrow at Calverton in Suffolk County today with no luck. Ran into a few other birders who also had no luck and who hadn't heard of anyone seeing the bird today.

[nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck-No
We took a ride out to look for the Cold Spring Harbor,LI, Tufted Duck yesterday, stopping for the Bayville,LI, Barrow's too. We found neither bird and it is our understanding that the Tufted was a no show on saturday too. Interestingly, i read this morning that "a male Tufted Duck with a nice tuft" associating with 15 Ringnecks, was discovered yesterday in East Providence, RI. it makes me wonder.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Mitred Parakeet fly-by
On a related but more countable note, the West Islip (SW Suffolk) Monk Parakeet flock made an appearance in my yard yesterday with eight birds. If they had shown themselves a few weeks ago, I could have ruined a CBC save!!

I could hear their screeching through the closed window. Looked like 12 or 13 birds which is about the right number for the flock that is seen in winter and spring around central Queens County.

[nysbirds-l] LeConte's Sparrow Question
I am wondering if the access to the runway areas at Calverton is different on weekdays than during the weekend. Will the area where people were parking/standing to view the LeConte's Sparrow be accessible during the week? Thanks for any help you can give me.
