[nysbirds-l] Harris's Sparrow in Newcomb (Essex Co.)
11/17/12 Newcomb (western Essex Co.) Charlotte Demers just emailed a photo of a Harris's Sparrow at her feeders in Newcomb. It is a first winter bird. She doesn't know how long it has been around since she has been gone all week. The bird was discovered as she was doing Project Feederwatch this morning. She asked that visitors observe the feeders from the road - the feeders are on the right side of the house and easily viewed from the road. Charlotte's house is on Sanford Lane. Take Adam's Lane (off Route 28N) to the end (only a few hundred feet) and Charlotte's blue house is directly ahead at the intersection with Sanford Lane. (I recently posted the Bohemian Waxwings at this location. Charlotte mentioned that although the fruit is gone from the tree on her front lawn, there were still 3 Bohemian Waxwings in it this morning. In addition to Northern Cardinals at her feeders, a Tufted Titmouse also showed up today - certainly not usual species for the heavily wooded central Adirondacks!)
