9:00 am Union Square - NO Chat or white crowned sparrow, but a Lincoln's Sparrow in the bushes on the west to east path closest to 14th street. I am wondering if anyone has seen the Bryant Park Lincoln's recently? Also in Union Square a very tame young red tailed hawk. He was hunting a squirrel and had pedestrians stopped watching this life and death situation for a good 10 minutes when he suddenly flew off. A few minutes later I observed him eating a bird - hopefully not the Chat!
On the East River at 23rd Street. Red breasted mergansers, buffleheads, and ruddy ducks.
