September 22, 2025 Community NewsI made a mention of this last week and couldn’t let it go — so S. helped me track down two of the wildlife photographers who staked out in Washington Market Park to spot a saltmarsh sparrow, a species on its way to extinction. “I went there today (for the third day in a row), and I finally saw it!” wrote Anke Frohlich, whose photo is above. “I spent a total of 10 hours so far looking for this bird, hence I am quite happy that I succeeded at last.” (Find her on X here.) “I came prepared this time and was rewarded with 3:16 total footage + stunning, unique stills,” he wrote. The saltmarsh sparrow is an endangered species — and facing extinction before 2050 due to elevated high tides.
