In one spot, between 11:32 and 11:52 this morning, I saw (and
photographed) Lincoln's Sparrow, Gray Catbird, Yellow-breasted Chat and
Ovenbird in Bryant Park. The spot, as described previously by Ben
Cacace, is near the back stairs of what appears to be an employees'
entrance at the northeast end of the skating rink area. It is just south
of the little manicured planted area which is south of the north
restrooms and east of the last shop along the path. The Lincoln's
Sparrow often hangs out in that planted area, as well - that's where I
first spotted it. Hope you're not dizzy yet trying to visualize it:)
I ran into Peter Post and Gunnel Rydstrom, who subsequently saw the four
birds, also within about 20 minutes.
We all walked over to the little park between 45th and 46th Streets,
between 5th and 6th Aves., where we saw another Gray Catbird. The Wood
Thrush that had been there seems to have left.
