Re: [nysbirds-l] Monarchs
at jones beach and point lookout here in NY my impression was that there were still ample goldenrods back along the roadways and (at Pt Lookout) along the shore of Jones Inlet All with nary a monarch on them on my last few visits.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Lark Sparrow
Hi all, While at work today a text alert came in on NYNYBIRD. A Lark Sparrow had been found by an Anonymous user. I was lucky to arrive just before sunset and with the help of David Barrett, and using his binoculars, I saw the bird at 6:15pm. Also a White-crowned was in the mixed flock of sparrows.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Monarchs
On the North Fork of Long Island we have had abundant Seaside Goldenrod, but a real scarcity of Monarchs feeding and resting on them. Last year the Monarchs arrived while the Goldenrod was not quite blooming; this year the Goldenrod is waiting but devoid of Monarchs.We miss them fluttering off Long Island Sound and streaming along the beaches . We actually had a Monarch caterpillar on a milkweed in our yard a couple of weeks ago, but he was gone the next day. At present we are in southern Vermont and Monarchs have also been absent here. Could the spring storms have wiped out a whole northbound population? Hope next year will be better.

To contact the Science Museum, call 896-5200. Press the pound key to report sightings before the end of this report. BROWN BOOBY was the exceptional highlight of reports received October 3 through October 10 from the Niagara Frontier Region. Old news already, but great excitement and amazement for an adult BROWN BOOBY, discovered at the source of the Niagara River off Buffalo and Fort Erie, Ontario, on October 7. Seen daily since, the BOOBY was roosting on the reef lighthouse structure at sunset on October 10. Best observation point has been the Erie Basin Marina Tower on Erie Street in Buffalo, or the Fort Erie shore above the Peace Bridge. Considering the lack of driving weather conditions, an adult BROWN BOOBY from the tropical oceans may be the most unexpected record in the region's history. While searching for the BOOBY, two light morph PARASITIC JAEGERS were reported October 7 off the basin marina. On Lake Ontario, October 5, an adult NORTHERN GANNET, flying westward off Golden Hill State Park in the Town of Somerset. Certainly the same adult was re-sighted about an hour later at Fort Niagara State Park, and later still at Hamilton, Ontario. The GANNET appears to have traveled 60 miles in two hours. Also, two JAEGERS this week on Lake Ontario off Sunset Beach in Carlton. And, October 5, four or five NELSON'S SPARROWS still in a wet field by the Ellicott Creek Trailway at the UB campus in Amherst. The Bird Report will be updated Thursday evening, October 17.

Re: REQUEST re: [nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC: Lark Sparrow
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.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow at Central Park
Hi everybody, Tomas Lundquist and I had the Lark Sparrow this morning at the Great Hill of Central Park, and I tried to text it out when we had it but failed (I am not quite a tech-savvy birder yet I guess). When I got home and read about how to text it out, I did, but I didn't realize there was a length limit on the text. The spot we had it isn't specifically named so I tried to be very specific, but the text went long and consequently, my name was cut off! For the record the text limit is about 140 characters. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, glad that some people got over there and saw it. Here is the link to my Ebird report: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15369461 And here are photos of the bird from this morning: http://earthonthewing.blogspot.com/2013/10/lark-sparrow-in-central-park.html Again, sorry for the confusion.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow at Central Park
Hi everybody, Tomas Lundquist and I had the Lark Sparrow this morning at the Great Hill of Central Park, and I tried to text it out when we had it but failed (I am not quite a tech-savvy birder yet I guess). When I got home and read about how to text it out, I did, but I didn't realize there was a length limit on the text. The spot we had it isn't specifically named so I tried to be very specific, but the text went long and consequently, my name was cut off! For the record the text limit is about 140 characters. Sorry for the confusion. Anyway, glad that some people got over there and saw it. Here is the link to my Ebird report: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15369461 And here are photos of the bird from this morning: http://earthonthewing.blogspot.com/2013/10/lark-sparrow-in-central-park.html Again, sorry for the confusion.
