Alan all, and if by Mourning at sparrow rock you mean to report a Mourning Warbler in Central Park Manhattan NYC at a location that is known to some birders to be on the east side of the park's West Drive at approx. W. 83-84th St. vicinity, and is a low rocky rise with lawn some trees

I saw and heard a singing Bicknell's Thrush at close range at the extreme northern tip of Strawberry Fields in Central Park this morning at 10:30. It appeared to move into the brushy area just to the west, beyond the trees, and I heard it sing again before leaving. David Barrett

The Sunken Meadow Summer Tanager was singing in the big trees southeast of the main entrance bridge (where you drive in). So if you park in the main lot, walk south over the entrance bridge and turn left, focusing on the big trees to the south. The Willowbrook bird was in the woods between the
