[nysbirds-l] Uplands Farm Sanctuary, Cold Spring Harbor, Suffolk
Some good activity at Uplands this morning but the highlight was a single LINCOLN'S SPARROW seen in the meadow along the preserve's entrance driveway. The bird was near the southern set of bluebird boxes and only 20 yards off the driveway. Good viewing and it figures I didn't have my usual photo set up with me. I know there are some folks looking to see this species so hopefully it sticks around for folks to see.

It was a lively day at Uplands Farm. A flock of about* 40 CEDAR WAXWINGS*were roosting within some black locust that hangs above the small pond. A pair of *WOOD DUCK* foraged beneath them. During that time my ears picked up several singing *FIELD SPARROWS.* The east meadow quickly turned up* 7 PALM WARBLERS*, which is a fos for me. Several more palms were seen throughout the day at various locations on the preserve. My biggest surprise was* 1 EASTERN MEADOWLARK*, a bird that used to be seen here more frequently. An *EASTERN BLUEBIRD* pair began selecting their nest box. I filmed the female stripping fibers off of some exposed tree bark as a use for nesting material. I have not seen this before. Video footage can be seen on my Flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39025168@N07/ There has also been an *AMERICAN KESTREL* on site fairly consistently. Yesterday, two male Red-Winged Blackbirds mugged the kestrel and forced it out of the meadow. I guess the blackbirds weren't fierce enough for the kestrel as it was back again today causing quite a commotion.
