Apologies for the belated notice, but on yesterday's (final for the season) NYC Audubon Bryant Park Bird Walk, we had nice views of a Lincoln's Sparrow in the plant bed in the NW corner with a square of boxwoods in the middle (just to the east of the 'Wichcraft kiosks). In the same spot there was also a likely Bicknell's Thrush: a small Gray-cheeked type, with extensive yellow on the lower mandible (and some on the base of the upper) and a distinctly warm tail. However, it wasn't singing, so I can't say with certainty. It might be worthwhile to lurk around there a bit in the evening or early morning to see if it sings. Then again, it may well have moved on last night. Other sightings included a late Hermit Thrush, numerous Common Yellowthroats and Ovenbirds, American Redstart, Blackpoll Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, and Swamp Sparrow.
