Summer doldrums
Hello,
A few birds have turned up, when I did not expect the: a white throated sparrow, an Eastern towhee and a black capped chickadee. The latter may have been part of a nesting pair, currently in Central Park. I saw another Eastern Kingbird, today.
Today, in the stream which runs under Triplets Bridge, I saw an American robin chase a smaller bird with a yellowish chest. It might have been a yellow-bellied flycatcher but I do not recall any eye ring.
In a PM, I was asked about mammals in Central Park. We have raccoons, rats, gray squirrels, and the occasional coyote. Rabbits, usually released by owners, are rounded up or humanely trapped, as quickly as possible, because they love to eat flower bed.
