October 24 - Central Park - finally dry

After a two day northeaster, finally a dry morning in Central Park for the last Friday AMNH bird walk of the season. We were rewarded with the best list of the week, helped by the weather and a large group of participants as a number of people from my other walks came on Friday, avoiding the previous two days of rain. The highlight of the morning was White-crowned Sparrow with two immatures on the grass across from the southeast corner of Turtle Pond.
