More food stands remain open post-holiday season in Bryant Park than have in past winters. So on this unusually balmy day I was curious to see what birds have hung around after the first major snows and all the underbrush has been cleared for fresh dark mulching. The sparrow population has definitely declined - I couldn’t find any more Swamp Sparrows, but there was still one lively looking Catbird in the southwest corner and a not-very-shy Lincoln Sparrow jerkily running along the southern fence.
