A Clay-colored Sparrow was found yesterday by James Knox in Central Parks North End . It was first seen in the Loch mixed in with a flock of house sparrows at around 3p.m. I later relocated the bird, still mixed in with the house sparrows an hour and a half later in the NW corner of the Compost Area. The CCSP was seen again by,Tom Pearlman back in the Loch at around 7AM this morning in the vacinity of the first Rustic Bridge. This time the sparrow was seen foraging alone. Anyone trying for the CCSP Should check all the surrounding areas （i.e. Green Bench, Grassy Knoll, etc.）suitable to sparrows as it appears to be making the rounds a bit, with or without the company of other birds. In light of the rescent assult on a Central Park birder I would strongly advise anyone looking for this bird go in the company of others as many parts of the North End can be quite remote, even in broad daylight. Safe and happy birding, Nadir Souirgi
