Despite the report of a few species of warblers at Ashbridges I figured their numbers
were not great enough to warrant getting a bad case of warbler neck. Instead, I explored
ground level and bushes and the only warbler that appeared at that elevation was a single
Myrtle warbler & a B&W warbler. Sparrows everywhere, mostly White-throated (both light and dark morph),
and a few White crowned. A couple of Swamp sparrows and a single Linchon sparrow.
Lots of Hermit thrush and a few Brown Thrasher but could not find the reported Wood
thrush (figures). Also sighted: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Least
Flycatcher, Great-crested Flycatcher, Eastern Towhee (male and female), and House wren.

I saw a Field Sparrow at the east side this morning.

I'd love to see a Field Sparrow. Have never photographed it well and seldom
ever spot one. Then again, I almost never carry binoculars so they may be
there but at a distance I cannot tell. Where exactly did you see it and how
early in the morning was it?

About 9AM, at very east side of Boardwalk, close to beach. Feeding on the ground, with some Song Sparrows around.
