On the NYC Audubon Bryant Park walk this morning we had a great morning for sparrows & thrushes, with five species of thrush (Hermit, Wood, Veery, Swainson's, and Gray-cheeked!), and five sparrows (Eastern Towhee, Song, Swamp, White-throated and a SALTMARSH SPARROW!). The Saltmarsh Sparrow was trotting along right out in the open before diving into a patch of begonias near the restrooms at the NE corner of the park. Someone on the walk took some photos which I can post later.
We also had numerous Ovenbirds & Common Yellowthroat, and a couple of Blue Jays, which surprisingly are rare in the park. Good birding!
