[nysbirds-l] Sparrows! Lecture. Rick Wright. Tuesday 2/26

[Lynne Hertzog]

 SPARROWS AND PEOPLE AND SPARROW PEOPLE*By Rick Wright*

*Tuesday, February 27, 7pm,  *
*Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of All Souls, located on Lexington
Avenue between 79th and 80th streets in Manhattan (Google Map
)*

Prolific author Rick Wright will share his expertise and read passages from
his forthcoming book, the Peterson Reference Guide to North American
Sparrows.

Rick has quite a varied and interesting background - a native of southeast
Nebraska, studied French, German, philosophy, and life sciences at the
University of Nebraska, where he worked in the bird collections of the
State Museum and served as teaching assistant to Paul Johnsgard. After a
detour to Harvard Law School, Rick took the M.A. and Ph.D. in German at
Princeton University. His years as an academic included appointments as
assistant professor of German at the University of Illinois, reader/scholar
at Princeton University’s Index of Christian Art, and associate professor
of medieval studies at Fordham University. Among his scholarly publications
are two books on the Latin and German animal literature of the late Middle
Ages. He is also the author of the American Birding Association’s field
guides to birds of New Jersey and of Arizona. *Rick is also a guide for
VENT birding tours, offering wonderful "Birds & Art" tours in various
European countries.*  A prolific contributor to the birding literature and
a sought-after lecturer, Rick lives with his wife, Alison Beringer, and
their chocolate lab, Gellert, in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Lectures are free and open to the public. This series has been made

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows at Jones Beach 10/15

[Peter Reisfeld]

I birded Jones Beach this morning with Bob Veltri and Jeff Ritter, hoping to 
see some migrating sparrows.  Bob’s intuition to pick Jones was a good one, and 
was confirmed by the moderate levels of reflectivity on radar dispersing over 
mid long island this morning.  

While initially things were slow, presumably due to a combination of cold and 
numerous raptors (including merlins, sharp-shinned and Coopers hawks, peregrine 
falcon, and northern harrier), the activity picked up later in the morning.  
Amongst all the yellow rumps and golden-crowned kinglets, we were able to find 
11 species of sparrow including lark, clay-colored, white-crowned, field, 
savannah, chipping, swamp, song, white-throated, junco and towee.   I had to 
leave early and missed the lark (originally found by Ken Feustel).  Jeff had 
located the clay-colored for our group at the far west turnaround, and I 
returned in the late afternoon, to see if I could absorb this subtly beautiful 
bird.  It was still there at sunset, if you’d like to try tomorrow.  Here is a 
link to a video:

Happy fall birding,

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows at Jamaica Bay NWR

[Joseph O'Sullivan]

I went to Jamaica Bay this morning and there was lots of bird activity but
not many people.

I started on the trail from the visitor's center to the breach and I
immediately noticed many sparrows which I assumed were Song Sparrow or
White-throated Sparrows. There were a few Song Sparrows, but the majority
of the ones I identified were Swamp Sparrows. I started to look closely at
all the sparrows I was seeing and I soon also saw a Vesper Sparrow, my
first in years, a Clay-colored Sparrow, my first this year, and a Nelson's
Sparrow, my first ever. On the east pond I saw a White-crowned Sparrow, and
my first of the fall White-throated Sparrow.

On the West Pond I saw my first of the fall Brants and a pair of of Snow
Geese. On the East pond there were many birds on the north end. More
cormorants than I have ever seen at one time (200+) and many white birds
that were a mix of gulls, swans, and egrets.

I saw a total of 43 species for the trip. The full list is on ebird.

I was there from about 9:00 am to 11:00 am and surprisingly I only saw two
people on the trails.

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows nesting in Manhattan ?

[Martin P. Pohl]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone spotted 'Sparrows' nesting in any 'prominent' locations  in the 
city, such as the cracks of buildings/high risers, lighting poles...or any 
other rather unusual nesting spots?

Thank you all for any hints...Martin Pohl

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows at Union Square Park and birds from The Adirondaks, etc.

[Anthony Collerton]

Both the White-crowned Sparrow and the Swamp Sparrow were easily visible
towards the South end of Union Square Park at around 10:45am this morning.

A bit of a contrast from our weekend where Philip Dempsey and I joined Joan
E. Collins for some Adirondack birding on Saturday.  Spent most of Saturday
and early Sunday morning around Oregon Plains/Bigelow Roads and Bloomindale
Bog.  I think others have documented this area recently so I won't go into
detail.  In summary we saw GRAY JAYS, BOREAL CHICKADEE and good numbers of
WHITE-WINGED CROSSBILLS and PINE SISKINS, along with a supporting cast that
included Ruffed Grouse, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Purple Finch, Red-breasted
Nuthatch and Pileated Woodpecker.  We spent a lot of time listening/looking
for Black-backed Woodpecker but came up empty.  We did however stumble into
a mixed flock of Waxings (mostly Cedar Waxwings but with at least four
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS) feeding on fruit in ornamental trees at the Pizza Hut in
Saranac Lake at around 3pm.  Joan went back later and estimated the flock
to be about 70 birds in total although most were sitting high in pine trees
with only a smaller subset coming down to feed at any given time.  Thanks
to Joan for sharing her, voluminous, local knowledge and providing such
pleasant company.

On Sunday afternoon, Philip and I drifted South as the snow started to get
heavy near Bloomingdale.  We spent a fair amount of time in the fields
North of Westport and picked up three ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS in the Clark Road
triangle, along with a NORTHERN SHRIKE a little further North.

We finished birding at the Fort Edward Flats (or Fort Edward IBA) with
another three ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, four Northern Harriers and 8 Wild
Turkeys.  This site is apparently a great spot for Short-eared Owls, with
locals reporting 13 or more some evenings, but we had to head South before
the appropriate time.

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows & thrushes in Bryant Park 10/5

[Gabriel Willow]

On the NYC Audubon Bryant Park walk this morning we had a great morning for 
sparrows & thrushes, with five species of thrush (Hermit, Wood, Veery, 
Swainson's, and Gray-cheeked!), and five sparrows (Eastern Towhee, Song, Swamp, 
White-throated and a SALTMARSH SPARROW!). The Saltmarsh Sparrow was trotting 
along right out in the open before diving into a patch of begonias near the 
restrooms at the NE corner of the park.  Someone on the walk took some photos 
which I can post later.

We also had numerous Ovenbirds & Common Yellowthroat, and a couple of Blue 
Jays, which surprisingly are rare in the park.

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] sparrows and hawks

[David Klauber]

Somewhat anti-climatic after several of the good sightings reported today, but 
maybe of minor interest: After viewing the Swainson's Hawk this morning we 
visited nearby Coxsackie grasslands, where there were several sparrows, 
including an adult and immature White-crowned.

At Mine Road in Orange County there was a Lincoln's Sparrow near the small 
bridge towards the southern end of the road, a bit north of the gate, near the 
bluebird boxes. The northwestern end of Mine Road is under construction for a 
new headquarters, which destroyed the habitat where Golden-winged warblers were 
seen in years past, although the rest of the road remains the same. 

We also visited Hook Mountain from about 3 to 4. They had over 100 birds of 
various species, highlighted by a late Broad-winged and a Red-shouldered, 
neither seen by us.
