Melissa Berube found this bird in the SE lawn border of Bryant Park and brought me over to see it. I had never seen a Sora and was not able to confirm her ID, but I tweeted the sighting and David Barrett and Matt L came by and were able to see and ID it. I got some photos in the unfortunately poor light, and I've put a selection of them at http://edgaillard.smugmug.com/Bird-ID/Sora/32481521_4ZmmW6 and my eBird checklist at http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S15381410 has some more details.
