[nysbirds-l] Bryant Park: Thrushes, Swamp Sparrow
A 10:15-11:15 exploration of the park revealed one briefly glimpsed (presumably) Gray-Cheeked Thrush (in the SW corner); at least three Swainson's Thrushes in the plantings on the park's edges; two or three Swamp Sparrows; six Yellowthroats (all but one male); about as many Ovenbirds; a plethora of paired-off Catbirds; and a Baltimore Oriole singing in a plane tree overhead. One interesting non-avian sighting: a small orange dragonfly (perhaps Eastern Amberwing, *Perithemis tenera?*) hovering over the planters at the park's mid-Sixth Avenue entrance. --Joe Wallace -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
