For the past month I've been watching the house and white-throat sparrow population accumulate in the holiday lighted conifers of Grace Plaza on the corner of 43rd and 6th Avenue. The last common yellow-throats departed a week ago with the unseasonably mild weather but a hearty Catbird is toughing it out. This morning two kind young fellows recovered an injured American Woodcock, placing in a large blanketed milk crate (I believe they secured from a subway panhandler) and are delivering to the Wild Bird Fund hospital. Godspeed.
