A Lark Sparrow was seen today at Green-wood Cemetery, Brooklyn. It was mostly on the Pilgrim Path, which is below Cypress Avenue near Vernal Avenue. Jo Ann and I spotted it while driving along Cypress. Ed Crowne, Josh Malbin and Rachel also observed the bird. It moved down the Pilgrim Path to its end, feeding on the grass seeds along the way. As Ed pointed out, this section of Green-wood is currently unmowed, and there are many seeds to feed on (if you are that way inclined). The bird was last seen flying to the North in the direction of the Snowdrop Path, about 12:20 PM. It wasn't relocated but is probably still in the area.
