Last Friday I counted over a dozen Swamp Sparrows at Bryant Park, the most I've seen in a day, pinballing among the begonias in a hide and seek with the Common Whitethroats and House Sparrows. This week the begonias were uprooted and their number has declined by half. A Hermit Thrush and a pair each of Song Sparrows and Catbirds continue to hang around the patio on the northern edge of the rink, diving for crumbs. With the nice mild weather today, a couple of warblers are still sticking around. An Ovenbird continues by the Petanque court and a Common Yellowthroat continues in the southwest corner. If you are fairly still, this particular Yellowthroat will always approach within a foot of you. What could you offer?
