[nysbirds-l] Vesper Sparrow

2012-10-12 Thread Daryl Cavallaro
I spotted the Vesper Sparrow in All Faith Cemetery in Middle Village again
this afternoon. I first saw it Wednesday but was unable to relocate it
yesterday. It has moved to a new location and is now near the General
Slocum memorial, along the paved road that is blocked off to traffic.

Also seen today were good numbers of both types of Nuthatches and Kinglets,
a Pine Warbler, Coopers and RT Hawk, and countless Yellow Rumped and Palm
Warblers.

A photo of the Vesper Sparrow as seen today has been posted here:

[nysbirds-l] Queens Vesper Sparrow

2012-10-10 Thread Daryl Cavallaro
Early Wednesday afternoon I saw a Vesper Sparrow at All Faiths Cemetery in
Middle Village. As I approached it I also flushed a Wilson's Snipe. Both
birds were located in the flat area about halfway between the the Christ
the King parking lot and the train tracks to the south.

During a brief visit on Tuesday I saw a Juvenile Blue Grosbeak which
appeared to be a different individual than the one that I had seen several
times in late September. Also present on Tuesday were a mature White
Crowned Sparrow, Purple Finch, Field Sparrow, a few Pine Siskins, a Blue
Headed Vireo, and a female Indigo Bunting.

A few shots of some of these, including the Vesper Sparrow are located here:

Re:[nysbirds-l] Connecticut Warbler in Queens

I have posted a couple of photos of the COWA and BLGR. The Grosbeak appears
to be the same one I spotted on Friday.

Other notable birds today were a Nashville Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, two
Red Breasted Nuthatches, a female Indigo Bunting, and a Peregrine Falcon.

[nysbirds-l] Queens Blue Grosbeak

2012-09-21 Thread Daryl Cavallaro
I saw a Blue Grosbeak this afternoon in All faiths Cemetery on Metropolitan
Avenue in Middle Village. It was hard to see as it stayed hidden in the
bushes, but it was very vocal. It was in the most overgrown section along
the fence near the train tracks on the southern side of the cemetery.

There are a couple of shots I took through the vegetation at the top of the
page here:

[nysbirds-l] Grasshopper Sparrow in Queens

2012-05-11 Thread Daryl Cavallaro
Around 4 PM today I spotted a Grasshopper Sparrow at All Faiths Cemetery in
Middle Village. It was in virtually the same spot as one I saw last
October. Unfortunately I flushed it before I had seen it, and as a result
could only get a few lousy extreme long distance shots of it. It then
disappeared into the long grass in an unmown area of the cemetery. I tried
to relocate it, however the gates close at 5 so I didn't have much time.
The bird was in the area directly adjacent to the Christ The King high
school parking lot. here is a link to a bad photo of it:

This morning at about 10:30 I spotted an immature male Blue Grosbeak at All
Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens on Metropolitan Avenue. This was
on the south side of the cemetery in the section along the Christ the King

There was also a field sparrow in the same area, about 30 feet away.
