We realized after heading back home that viewing the NELSON'S SPARROWS was easiest closer to high tide when the birds were perched much higher and stayed there for longer periods. On the map I've added an icon for the North Brother Island, East River tides which is just east of the site and nearly an hour and a quarter later than high tide on the Harlem River on the west side of the island. The tide icons are the blue anchors in the rivers:
