A slightly damp morning for two brave AMNH bird walk participants in the Ramble in Central Park. For the most part, the rains held off with only a couple of periods of light rain. Luckily, the longest and heaviest spell came when we were by the Belvedere Castle so we had a place to stand out of the rain and still bird. Despite the weather we managed to find 30 species.
