There was a pretty Clay-colored Sparrow in a mixed flock on the grassy area behind the black chain link fence (opposite the ends of Row U Row V and Row W). At least one of the Mourning Warblers continues. As I was walking on the asphalt path that parallels Boylston St., a Mourning Warbler flew across my path and landed in the plot opposite Row F. Thankfully it called once, so I was able to know what it was. It flew back to the other side of the asphalt path and went somewhere. I birded from 12:00-3:00.
