Re:[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow, Croton Point Park grassland
One more clarification, and a suggestion: NOT the walking path at base of the hill, but the rutted gravel one a little further up, with "protected grasslands/keep to central path" sign guarding it. Best parking option would be in small lot at campground, just across main road from grassland. Apologies for the multiple posts. --Joe On Sat, Jul 31, 2021 at 7:24 PM Joseph Wallace wrote: > BROWN sign--sorry. > > On Sat, Jul 31, 2021 at 7:16 PM Joseph Wallace wrote: > >> Southwestern side of restored grasslands, observed at about 6:00 tonight >> for several minutes.

[nysbirds-l] Lark Sparrow, Croton Point Park grassland
Southwestern side of restored grasslands, observed at about 6:00 tonight for several minutes. Bird was on southwestern side of central path over the grassland hill: If you walk up hill from maintenance shed, it was on first gravel path/road to the left, where there's a green "protected grasslands" sign. Bird was very tame, observed for several minutes foraging on ground close to central path and perched on nearby mullein stalk.
