[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Lark Sparrow
To add to the recent glut of Lark Sparrows, there was one at Six Diamonds ballfields in Brooklyn this morning. The Lark Sparrow was along the fences of the ballfield just south of the entrance at the dead end of Bay 53rd St. just outside the Home Depot parking lot. At the northern corner of the park, where it comes together with Calvert Vaux, there were singles of Orange-crowned Warbler, and Lincoln's Sparrow. There was also a rich brown *passerina* bunting with some buffy on the underparts, that unfortunately did not cooperate for good looks or photos. This is just across the small creek (to the east of) from Calvert Vaux (nee Dreier Offerman) Park, near Coney Island. At Coney Island Creek Park a bit earlier in the morning, the only thing diurnally migrating in somewhat impressive numbers were Kinglets (mostly Ruby-crowned), which was not tremendously surprising given the favorable and *light* winds. There were also quite a few Brown Creepers around, including at least one migrating west through the dunes. There were also 4 House Wrens between the two locations, which is a decent number for such a small area on this date. eBird lists for both locations here (photos to be embedded some time this evening): http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25474267 http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S25472924 Good Birding -Doug Gochfeld.

[nysbirds-l] Brooklyn Lark Sparrow
There was an adult Lark Sparrow along Archery Road in Floyd Bennett Field this morning (8/20) at around 6:45 AM. It ranged from the fence of the Tree Nursery down to the weedy area beyond the concrete barriers (where you are not permitted to walk). Not much around in the way of migrants, with a single flyover Bobolink being the only obvious one. Two small mixed groups of shorebirds flew over, consisting of 3 Greater Yellowlegs, 5 Lesser Yellowlegs, and 5 Short-billed Dowitchers. The Runway Puddles have now been replenished and look good for shorebirds. There was only a single juvenile Least Sandpiper there this morning (which soon disappeared), but they definitely warrant consistent checking considering that within the last couple of years they have held juveniles of Baird's, Western, and Stilt Sandpiper.
