[nysbirds-l] Staten Island Vesper and Lincoln's Sparrows plus others
Both hanging out in the same mixed flock at Fort Wadsworth. The birds are are feeding in with a large flock of Song Sparrows on the rock jetty that starts underneath the Verrazano Bridge. Drive into the fort from the entrance on Bay Street. Go to the end of the road. Make a left. Make a very fast right onto USS North Carolina Road (not sure if it is marked but it is before you get to a parking lot). Make a left and park at the bottom of the hill near the park. Walk out to the water and you will see a large jetty. The birds could be feeding anywhere in the grass in front of the jetty, in the rocks of the jetty or often they fly to the back side of the maintenance building onto a hillside that borders the bridge. Also of note was an all white Horned Grebe found by Seth Wollney off of the Seaview Avenue fishing pier. -- 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/ --
