From Eni
Hi Peter-
I got busy and did not report this but Monday I was in the park for a bird walk after a long hiatus (just too hot) and on the way in from Grand Army Plaza on the path I saw a chipping sparrow feeding a juvenile near the crabapple tree on the road side. Do we typically get chipping sparrows breeding in the park?
