Hi Ontbirders!
At approximately 6:30 tonight, a black vulture was seen on the east beach directly opposite to Sparrow Field. Was seen minutes after viewing the adult Lark Bunting. The vulture was seen by many observers, walking along upper shoreline.
Just a suggestion to all birders interested in seeing the black vulture, you should walk the east beach as much as possible tomorrow. Its been seen there several times, so it's definately been hanging around that area.
Note on Lark bunting: will almost certainly stay overnight. It has been seen associating with four white crowned sparrows the entire time it was seen (about 1 and a half hours). It seemed to be settling in with the sparrows in the thicket tonight. My advice is to get on the first train in the morning, then divide and conquer! Pay special attention to shrubby patches between the seasonal path and the main road on the East side of the tip. Look for white crowned sparrows.
This is a male adult Lark Bunting in molt, its still not completely black, has some black back feathers missing.
cheers
