I led my weekly NYC Audubon bird walk in Bryant Park this morning. Warblers were few, but sparrows were surprisingly diverse.
The highlight was the presence of at least 3 Lincoln's Sparrows, a Swamp Sparrow, and an influx of White-throated Sparrows. Common Yellowthroats of various ages & sexes seemed to be in every shrub as well. We also had a pair of Brown Thrashers & a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 2 of the Lincoln's were in the begonia patch with the birdbath on the north side of the park, if anyone wants to look for 'em. Here's the full list: Peregrine Falcon (flyover) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker Gray Catbird Brown Thrasher Common Yellowthroat Ovenbird Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Eastern Towhee House Sparrow Cheers, Gabriel Willow NYC Audubon -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
