*During the summer a male Chipping Sparrow occupied the area of the Grassy Knoll and Green Bench. Despite the bird's continued presence and constant singing, we never found any evidence of nesting. Reports of nesting Green Herons are also problematic, with the last report of Green Heron for Central Park on June 2. For the singing male Wood Thrush at the south end of the park in Hallett Sanctuary throughout the summer, we could find no evidence of a mate, nest, or young despite repeated visits.
