On my final NYC Audubon Bryant Park walk of the season, we saw some nice birds.
It's getting harder and harder as the available birding areas shrink in the
already small park due to the rink construction.
There were many (20+) White-throated Sparrows mixing with the House Sparrows.
There was also a particularly colorful Swamp Sparrow hopping under tables and
in puddles at the East end behind the Library. The Ovenbird that has taken up
residence in the patch of pink begonias in front of the restrooms is still
skulking around there (I assume it's the same individual that's been there for
a month or so).
And of course the local celebrity Prothonotary Warbler was still flitting
around in front of the library, at the north end this time. There were also 7
(!) Y-B Sapsuckers on the locust trees, including a couple of males still in
bright breeding plumage. I'm surprised the Prothonotary seems uninterested in
the sap wells, unlike other warblers I've seen.
Cheers,
Gabriel Willow
