American Tree Sparrow

An American Tree Sparrow was eating grass seed along the fence just north of the Tupelo Tree in the Tupelo Meadow of Central Park on Monday afternoon. It’s a plump, long tailed sparrow with a black dot in the center of its chest and a bicolored beak. It took some patience to watch and photograph it as it weaved its way through the thick grass and leaves. It was hidden much more than visible.
