[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow - Yes
Tom Moran and I left Shoreham at ~ 0745 this morning, with RMSP, JBSP and Prospect Park on the docket, while really hoping to add the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area to the mix. We goofed however, on selecting the order of these locations, when we choose to hit PP first, where the birds were few and far between ! Our spirits were temporarily lifted when a passing birder told us of a Yellow-breasted Chat he had seen earlier in the "Arches" area, which we were not able to find. Arriving at the JB Coast Guard Station area, we found many birds (large #'s of skimmers, many oystercatchers, and a few gulls & terns on the bar) and 2 birders watching them, namely Diana Teta and Gail Dachis (sp?). What I found most interesting was that while technically, these birds were standing on the bar, due to the very high tide, their lower tarsus and toes were covered by ~ 2" of transparent water - in all the 30 + years I've been coming to this spot, I've never seen the tide this high. As interesting as this was, the real highlight of this stop was the news of the Lark Sparrow found at Captree SP found by Derek Rogers & Mike Scheibel earlier in the day. Taking leave of the ladies, we proceeded to the upper parking lot at CSP. We were not long into the "stakeout", before being joined by Beth & Jerry Platt, members of Huntington-Oyster Bay AS. A short time afterward the LASP "appeared" near the green dumpster, giving us good looks, before crossing over the parking lot to near the gray storage box. We last saw it taking a short westerly flight, landing in the vegetation along the n/s curb-line. This was a new bird for Tom, as well as for the 2 ladies (non-birders) whose curiosity was rewarded with such a special species. Whereupon, they pulled out their cell phone, did some pecking on it, and "saw" what they had just seen ! They then proceeded to play it's song, which thrilled one of them so much, it caused her to proclaim..."when I get home I'm changing my phone ring to this" ! Heading out of the park, we came upon The Platts, pulled off the road, out of their car, and looking through their scopes. Although they hadn't come across the sparrow again, they did find a close, sun-bathed, adult Merlin, that allowed them both to get great photos ! As we headed east, the fact that we were not diverted to the OMNSA, did not loom large anymore ! After leaving Tom off in Shoreham, on my way home to Riverhead, I again spotted a single Turkey Vulture, flying over Sound Ave, Wading River in the late afternoon . This makes the 3rd time in the last 2-3 months, if my memory serves me well.

[nysbirds-l] Central Park, NYC 9/22
Saturday, 22 September, 2012 Central Park, Manhattan, N.Y. City There were still many migrants about all day, but I was unable to re-find a few from Fri. morning's good diversity, notably no Blue Grosbeak, also no Indigo Buntings, and a couple of the warblers seen Friday went missing in my searches, while a Pine Warbler was added. A fair addition for some species in my rounds at the north end, particularly more Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and a modest number of thrushes including Wood and Swainson's, for the most part. Also still going strong were Red-eyed Vireo and I ran into more House Wrens than the day before. A Marsh Wren was again present but along the north shoreline of The Pool. Tonight's and the next few nights chillier weather will bring a lot of fresh migration...

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebirds
I thought I was done with this for the year, especially after this thrilling August. But the quest to photograph a juvenile plumage Long-billed Dowitcher changed my mind (not that any had been reported, but it should be possible at this time). One Long-billed did pop in, albeit a basic plumage bird (with 3 juvenile Short-bills). So maybe not the picture I was looking for, but I did capture a Kevin Karlson type picture of a Short-billed directly in front of the Long-billed and leaving lots of Long-billed to be seen. Also joining in the flock were a Pectoral Sandpiper and 2 Stilt Sandpipers, and up to 12 Lesser Yellowlegs (that's more than I saw in all of August combined) . A White-rumped Sandpiper was also around. 10 species in all just at the south end of the East Pond (which had been so unproductive at times this year), so not bad for this time of the season. It is late September (and Rod Stewart really should be back in school). White Pelican still around.

[nysbirds-l] Black-headed Gull at Randalls Island
Biked to Randalls Island, not much activity until I reached the north side, across from New York Post building. A couple of Ring-billed Gulls and a half-dozen Laughing Gulls. In the group was I believe a Black-headed Gull. First time ID for me - about same size as Laughing Gulls, much paler, bright red legs, ear-spot, and a red bill with black tip (definitely not a Bonapartes Gull). Did not get to see fly.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow, Captree S.P. (Suffolk)
Mike Scheibel and I just spent about 45 minutes in the upper lot at Captree. Other than several active Savannah and Song Sparrows, we had nice viewing of a LARK SPARROW. The bird was seen in the NE section of the lot, just beside the large gray shipping canister. It was working the grassy edge along the roadway sometimes flying into the adjacent scrub area.

This is the New York Rare Bird Alert for Friday, September 21st 2012 at 8pm. The highlights of today's tape are FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER, AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, WESTERN KINGBIRD, HUDSONIAN GODWIT, BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, RED-HEADED WOODPECKER, BLUE GROSBEAK, DICKCISSEL and pelagic trip results. Certainly the week's highlight was an adult male FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER found Wednesday morning at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area, present until noon, when chased off by a Cooper's Hawk, the flycatcher was not relocated until late in the afternoon on an adjacent golf course. This is a private club but they did graciously allow birders on to view the bird. Searches of both the golf course, with permission, and the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area on Thursday proved to be fruitless and the Fork-tailed has not been seen since Wednesday. In the city parks there was the expected seasonal variety of migrants this past week. Unusual in Central Park were an AMERICAN BITTERN continuing around Turtle Pond at least to Thursday and an EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL roosting daily in the Ramble from Saturday to Wednesday. Other Central Park highlights featured YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER Friday, YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER, occasional PHILADELPHIA and BLUE-HEADED VIREOS, GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH, two dozen plus species of warblers including a PROTHONOTARY WARBLER reported Thursday plus CAPE MAY WARBLER, MOURNING WARBLER and HOODED WARBLER, a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW at the north end Sunday through today, some LINCOLN'S SPARROWS and briefly seen BLUE GROSBEAK and DICKCISSEL at the north end today. Hawks overhead have included scattered BALD EAGLES but the hawk flights have been much better at the inland ridges. A CONNECTICUT WARBLER was found Monday in Bryant Park joining such migrants as GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH, LINCOLN'S SPARROW and a few species of warblers. CONNECTICUT WARBLER has also been reported elsewhere including at Alley Pond Park in Queens. Prospect Park has also enjoyed a good variety this week including OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO and CONNECTICUT and HOODED WARBLERS and a BLUE GROSBEAK was spotted at Kissena Park in Queens Wednesday the same day finding a LARK SPARROW at Fort Tilden. At Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge the AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was still present on the East Pond today along with an immature CASPIAN TERN and the shorebird highlight there was an HUDSONIAN GODWIT found at the Raunt last Saturday this bird not lingering. A deep sea pelagic trip last Sunday out of Freeport aboard the Star Stream VIII, a fine pelagic vessel, got out about 80 miles and the official trip tally featured 5 CORY'S SHEARWATERS, over 350 GREAT and 4 AUDUBON'S SHEARWATERS, 175 WILSON'S STORM-PETRELS and a single LEACH'S STORM-PETREL, 3 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES a BLACK TERN, one PARASITIC and 3 POMARINE JAEGERS and a few landbirds including NORTHERN FLICKER and PURPLE FINCH. Animal highlights were a continuously breaching Hump-backed Whale along with some Common and Bottle-nosed Dolphins. The coastal flight last Sunday produced 2 WESTERN KINGBIRDS and an adult RED-HEADED
