Good group of 17, and an excellent start to the walk as we found a LARK SPARROW on our first stop at the Bridge Lawn on Pier 1. Associating with a HOUSE SPARROW flock, it kindly gave everyone great looks but apparently did not return when the flock was spooked after we had moved on.
Warblers were scarce on a slow migration day, but we studied a few BLACKPOLL WARBLERS before getting word of a DICKCISSEL with the same Bridge Lawn flock. We had more luck than the Lark Sparrow chasers and fortunately had ample time to spend with the grassland bird.
