After missing the first Wednesday AMNH Central Park bird walk last week because of jury duty, I got to start the Wednesday walks today. It felt more like a late winter walk than a spring walk. There were beautiful, blue, cloudless skies, but the temperature was at freezing when we started. Nevertheless. we found 28 species with a few spring birds.

Mallard
Double-crested Cormorant (1, flying around the Lake)
Black-crowned Night-Heron (1, west side of the Lake, north of Hernshead)
Rock Pigeon

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (I missed it, but Jon Hyman and Chuck McAlexander had one on the way out)
Hermit Thrush (2)
