Today I put in about 8+ hours in Central Park, starting at first-light, and
also about 2+ hours in Riverside Park’s northern sections, especially around
that park’s sanctuary area, and “the drip” as well as a look in the northern
patch of sloping woods.

For the record, the Ibis was in full adult plumage.

Seen flying NE from the Parking lot at Valley Stream State Park with
about 23 Glossys at about 6:10PM. Unmistakable, and seen back lit in
great light just as I got out of the car. - Truly a gift.All field
marks match up perfectly, even its stightly larger size. Birders
should keep a lookout for
Thank you for your fast reactions.
No need for consolation, Tom.
Angus, you're right, the light was less than perfect.
The bird is clearly a Seaside Sparrow, and I identified it as such, but
the ochre on the side of the neck, behind the eye stripe, is a feature that
does not show on any representa
Hi Tom and all,
The Yellow-throated Warbler had white above the lore, suggesting interior
race - Setophaga dominica albifrons.

good birding,
Anders Peltomaa
I’m not seeing it, Juan. Agree with Angus.
In your photo, the breast is over-exposed, making it appear much lighter than
it might otherwise. All other elements of the bird’s plumage seem consistent
with a fresh spring Seaside Sparrow. The beak size and shape is all Seaside,
too.

Maybe I'm missing something but could you perhaps explain why you think
this not a pure Seaside Sparrow?
I am not noticing any inconsistencies, although to be fair it's difficult
to evaluate a single photo of a partially obscured bird that's facing
away
As a side note, I am not aware of evide
Chimney swifts are back in Inwood—a welcome harbinger of spring. I also heard
an ovenbird in Isham Park this morning.
Cheers,

I apologize for the cross-posting.
I have photographed a Seaside Sparrow this morning at the Salt Marsh Nature
Center in Marine Park, Brooklyn that seems to have some features that match
Saltmarsh Sparrow. I have read that these two species hybridize regularly.
