Bryant Park has a full bloom of late summer flowers - luscious blue-green broad-leaf plants with flowers ranging from the dark blues of salvia, purple, violet, fuchsia, to the pink of the hearty begonias. Along with the London Plane trees recently dumping piles of dead leaves - the park is harboring major ground cover to attract insects and hide the new arrival of underbrush migrants. Common Yellow-throated Warblers, Ovenbirds, and Waterthrushes - both Northern and Louisiana are scattered along the flowerbeds edging the lawn. An odd leucistic House Sparrow was hanging around the begonia patch by the ice-cream shack and I spotted my first Common White-throated Sparrow of the season at their favorite location - the birdbath.
