The LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH continues in the storage area along 40th St. near the east end of the park. It's interesting watching a specific bird to see how long it stays around. I hung out for around 10 minutes looking for the Winter Wren (not seen) when the waterthrush made an appearance for a few seconds. A PEREGRINE FALCON was perched on the nest box on the Met Life building. A CHIPPING SPARROW was seen flying into a tree near the fountain.
