Re: [nysbirds-l] Blue Grosbeak in Southampton

I saw the BLUE GROSBEAK again this evening at the SYS facility along Major's Path in Southampton (Suffolk Co.). The only thing I would like to mention about the directions is that the signpost on the road for the facility is called something like "Andreassi Way" and not Elkgrove. Also this evening

[nysbirds-l] Status of Henslow's Sparrow in NYS

Bulletin board postings are naturally slanted to positive news and don't do such a good job recording disappearances, either of particular individuals (is the Hooded Crow still being seen?) or of populations. The recent discovery of two Henslow's Sparrows in a field near Ames (Montgomery Co.) got
