Highlights of a stroll around Bryant park about 3:30pm: American Woodcock poking around for the ground in the SE maintenance area, good views from the SE park entrance side. Pretty calm bird; a park worker dragged some trash bags past him, and he flinched but did not flush to deeper cover. Palm Warbler on the southern part of the lawn where about 18 Song Sparrows were also working; the Palm came closer to the path than the sparrows liked. Three Hermit Thrush, two at the maintenance area, one in the southern lawn border.
Central Park this morning had (along with the usual suspects) both kinds of kinglet around the Upper Lobe, and Chipping Sparrows at Evodia. No warblers for me. The Titmousoi seem to have moved out at last--saw only three, all at the feeders. Yesterday evening I saw a bat flying around the Upper Lobe a bit before sunset. I don't know about bats--it was small, body a bit shorter but rather thicker than the Phoebes who were also flycatching in the area.
