April 10 - Central Park (lunchtime)

At lunchtime I led Paul Sweet's AMNH Central Park walk for him. The weather was more pleasant than in the morning, but was still cool for the season. We did slightly better than on the morning walk, totaling 32 species over about an hour and a half. One of the highlights was a Louisiana Waterthrush and some lingering Fox Sparrows. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any pictures of those birds, but I have included a couple of other pictures below.
