[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park NYC: 14+ species
Good movement overnight, with an influx of later-season migrants this morning. On my twice-weekly Bryant Park walk (free, Mondays 8-9am & Thursdays 5-6pm) we spotted some nice diversity in an hour, mostly around the central lawn area. I suspect there were many birds we missed, especially in the treetops; if anyone is headed to work late or can go on their lunch break, definitely worth a look! We found: Rock Pigeon Eastern Phoebe (1, treetops) Gray Catbird (7+, more than in recent days) Ruby-crowned Kinglet (1, FOS, trees) European Starling (recent breeding residents in the park, in small numbers) Ovenbird (1) Blackpoll Warbler (FOS, bright Imm. female, feeding on lawn, very confiding) Common Yellowthroat (many) Lincoln's Sparrow (1, found by Jeanne Tao) Swamp Sparrow (2, on lawn) Song Sparrow (1, lawn) Dark-eyed Junco (1, FOS, lawn) White-throated Sparrow (5, lawn & shrubs) House Sparrow (many) Fall is here!
